sim_defm: Simulate data using a DEFM

In defm: Estimation and Simulation of Multi-Binary Response Models

Simulate data using a DEFM

Description

Simulate data using a DEFM

Usage

sim_defm(m, par, fill_t0 = TRUE)

Arguments

m	An object of class DEFM. The baseline model.
par	Numeric vector of model parameters.
fill_t0	Logical scalar. When TRUE (default) will fill-in the baseline value of each observation (i.e., the starting condition) (see details.)

Details

Each observation in the simulation must have initial condition. In practice, this means we start the markov process with a matrix of size ⁠morder_defm(m) x ncol_defm_y(m)⁠, i.e., order of the Markov process times the number of output variables. when fill_t0 = TRUE, the function return the rows corresponding to baseline states with the original value, otherwise it replaces them with -1. This option is mostly for testing purposes.

Value

An integer vector of size ⁠nrows_defm(m) x ncol_defm_y(m)⁠.
