In kgoldfeld/simstudy: Simulation of Study Data

Generate event data using longitudinal data, and restrict output to time until the nth event.

Description

Generate event data using longitudinal data, and restrict output to time until the nth event.

Usage

genNthEvent(dtName, defEvent, nEvents = 1, perName = "period", id = "id")

Arguments

dtName	name of existing data table
defEvent	data definition table (created with defDataAdd) that determines the event generating process.
nEvents	maximum number of events that will be generated (the nth event).
perName	variable name for period field. Defaults to "period"
id	string representing name of the id field in table specified by dtName

Value

data.table that stops after "nEvents" are reached.

Examples

defD <- defData(
  varname = "effect", formula = 0, variance = 1,
  dist = "normal"
)
defE <- defDataAdd(
  varname = "died", formula = "-2.5 + 0.3*period + effect",
  dist = "binary", link = "logit"
)

d <- genData(1000, defD)
d <- addPeriods(d, 10)
dx <- genNthEvent(d, defEvent = defE, nEvents = 3)
