Description

This function is called internally by other functions. It builds the design matrix for the models.

Usage

build_design_matrix(data, param_matrix, indices = NULL,
  empty_param_matrix_full = NULL, empty_design_matrix = NULL,
  print = TRUE)

Arguments

data	The dataset to be used
param_matrix	The matrix storing parameter values
indices	The list of indices computed by compute_indices
empty_param_matrix_full	The empty expanded or complete parameter matrix
empty_design_matrix	The empty design matrix
print	A boolean indicating whether or not to print information about potential issues

Value

The design matrix.

Examples

pmat <- build_param_matrix(param_values = c(0.1, 0.2), param_str = c("w1" = "s"))
dmat <- build_design_matrix(data = SurvEles_small, param_matrix = pmat)
table(dmat[, "w1"])
