return_value_from_id: Look up the value that corresponds to a numeric ID

In cancerpolicy/bcimodel: Model the impact of early detection and treatment interventions for breast cancer

Description

Using a matrix of IDs, look up a value in a dataframe

Usage

return_value_from_id(ids, df, value)

Arguments

ids	Matrix of ids
df	Data frame containing the values of interest, sorted by ID (i.e., row numbers should correspond to the ID numbers)
value	Column name of value to return from the df

Value

Matrix of values corresponding to the input ID matrix

Examples

# Simple age distribution
ages <- data.frame(age=c(20,30,40), prop=c(0.2, 0.5, 0.3))
# Simulate a population of size 10 twice, using these proportions and the row IDs
sims <- sim_multinom(nsims=100, 2, ages$prop, names=1:nrow(ages))
# Get the corresponding ages
sim.ages <- return_value_from_id(sims, df=ages, value='age')
# Proportions match input props
round(prop.table(table(sim.ages)), 2)
