Create a data table of patients to model.

1 2	create_patients(n, female_prop = 0.48, age_mean = 70.39, age_sd = 11.68, mutation_prob = 0.52)

`n`	Number of patients to model.
`female_prop`	The proportion of patients that are female.
`age_mean`	Mean age. Based on sources cited in `age_dist`.
`age_sd`	Standard deviation of age. Based on sources cited in `age_dist`.
`mutation_prob`	The probability of a T790M mutation. The default value is based on Table 3 from the article by Ma et al. cited below.

An object of class "patients", which is a data.table containing each modeled patient. Columns are:

patient_id: An integer from 1 to n denoting a unique patient.
mutation: 1 if a patient has a T790M mutation and 0 otherwise.
female: 1 if a patient is female and 0 otherwise.
