ctModelCoverage_check: Coverage Check Function

In ctsem: Continuous Time Structural Equation Modelling

Coverage Check Function

Description

Performs a coverage check analysis by generating data from a model, fitting it multiple times with different fit arguments, and plotting the results.

Usage

ctModelCoverage_check(
  initialData,
  fitting_model,
  niter,
  fit_args,
  cores = 10,
  fit_cores = 1,
  generate_cores = fit_cores,
  plot_every = max(c(10, cores))
)

Arguments

initialData	An initial dataset to fit to determine 'true' parameters for further generation.
fitting_model	A ctModel object used for fitting the data
niter	Number of iterations to run
fit_args	Named list of fit argument sets to test (e.g., list(boot = list(optimcontrol = list(uncertainty = 'bootstrap')), hess = list(optimcontrol = list(uncertainty = 'hessian'))))
cores	Number of outer simulation iterations to run in parallel. Inner model fits use fit_cores by default to avoid nested parallelism.
fit_cores	Number of cores for each inner ctFit call. This is enforced after merging each fit_args entry so that outer simulation cores cannot accidentally be reused by worker fits.
generate_cores	Number of cores for ctGenerateFromFit when generating replicated datasets. Defaults to fit_cores; set it explicitly to use more cores for generation.
plot_every	Print plots every n iterations (default = 10)

Value

A list containing the results data.table and final plots
