In mattmoo/daohtools: Tools for working with registry data and transforming to days alive and out of hospital (DAOH)

Modify a DAOH distribution, until at.quantile is target.quantile.val. Uses data.table so that things can be done by reference.

Description

Modify a DAOH distribution, until at.quantile is target.quantile.val. Uses data.table so that things can be done by reference.

Usage

modify.daoh.distribution(
  x = 0:90,
  prob = rep(1, 90),
  target.quantile.val = NULL,
  relative.quantile.val = NULL,
  at.quantile = 0.5,
  multiple.per.step = 0.01,
  output.to.console = T,
  empirical.dist = F,
  n.emp = 1e+05
)

Arguments

x	Possible values for daoh
prob	Probability of each daoh value
target.quantile.val	The target value for at.quantile
relative.quantile.val	Value that the target quantile should be relative to its current value.
at.quantile	The quantile at which to insert a difference (default: 0.5).
multiple.per.step	Probabilities will be adjusted as a function of this number.
output.to.console	Print progress to console.
empirical.dist	Calculate quantiles for calculating cost empirically (slower)
n.emp	Number of samples that will be generated when empirically finding quantiles

Value

The modified distribution as a list containing values and weights.
