data_distal_continuous: A synthetic data set of an MRT with continuous distal outcome

In MRTAnalysis: Assessing Proximal, Distal, and Mediated Causal Excursion Effects for Micro-Randomized Trials

A synthetic data set of an MRT with continuous distal outcome

Description

Simulated longitudinal dataset suitable for illustrating the 'dcee()' function. Each row corresponds to one decision point for one subject. The distal outcome 'Y' is constant within subject (because it is measured at the end of the study, and here we append it to the long format data as an extra column to conform with the 'dcee()' function requirement.
