Usage

SU_status(inputdata, n_SUH, n_SUP, t_SU, ICD_SU)

Arguments

inputdata	a dataframe including columns: ClientID, VisitDate, Diagnostic_H, and Diagnostic_P
n_SUH	minimum number of potential substance use related hospital visits
n_SUP	minimum number of potential substance use related medical service physician visits
t_SU	maximum time lag (in days) between all hospital visits and all medical service physician visits
ICD_SU	plausible list of Substance Use status diagnostic codes

Value
