Summarise simulated data using various population comparison statistics

Description

This collapses the simulation results within each condition to composite estimates such as RMSE, bias, Type I error rates, coverage rates, etc. See the See Also section below for useful functions to be used within Summarise.

Usage

Summarise(condition, results, fixed_objects)

Arguments

condition	a single row from the design input from runSimulation (as a data.frame), indicating the simulation conditions
results	a tibble data frame (if Analyse returned a named numeric vector of any length) or a list (if Analyse returned a list or multi-rowed data.frame) containing the analysis results from Analyse, where each cell is stored in a unique row/list element
fixed_objects	object passed down from runSimulation

Value

for best results should return a named numeric vector or data.frame with the desired meta-simulation results. Named list objects can also be returned, however the subsequent results must be extracted via SimExtract

Examples

## Not run: 

summarise <- function(condition, results, fixed_objects) {

    #find results of interest here (alpha < .1, .05, .01)
    lessthan.05 <- EDR(results, alpha = .05)

    # return the results that will be appended to the design input
    ret <- c(lessthan.05=lessthan.05)
    ret
}
