cusum_limit_sim: Simulate control limit given false signal probability alpha...

In cusum: Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) Charts for Monitoring of Hospital Performance

Description

Simulate control limit given false signal probability alpha for CUSUM charts

Usage

cusum_limit_sim(failure_probability, n_patients, odds_multiplier,
  n_simulation, alpha, seed = NULL)

Arguments

failure_probability	Double. Baseline failure probability
n_patients	Integer. Number of patients in monitoring period /sample size
odds_multiplier	Double. Odds multiplier of adverse event under the alternative hypothesis (<1 looks for decreases)
n_simulation	Integer. Number of simulation runs
alpha	Double. False signal probability of CUSUM
seed	Integer. Seed for RNG

Value

Returns the control limit for signalling performance change (double)

Examples

# simulate control limits for alpha = 0.05
cusum_limit_sim(
  failure_probability = 0.05,
  n_patients = 100,
  odds_multiplier = 2,
  n_simulation = 1000,
  alpha = 0.05,
  seed = 2046
)
