createSimulationSettings: Create simulation settings

In ohdsi-studies/SmallSampleEvidenceSynthesis: Synthesizing Evidence in a Network of Databases with Small Sample Sizes

Description

An object specifing a simulation. Currently only Cox proportional hazard models are supported.

Usage

createSimulationSettings(nSites = 5, n = 10000,
  treatedFraction = 0.2, nStrata = 10, minBackgroundHazard = 2e-07,
  maxBackgroundHazard = 2e-05, hazardRatio = 2, randomEffectSd = 0)

Arguments

nSites	Number of database sites to simulate.
n	Number of subjects per site. Either a single number, or a vector of length nSites.
treatedFraction	Fraction of subjects that is treated. Either a single number, or a vector of length nSites.
nStrata	Number of strata per site. Either a single number, or a vector of length nSites.
minBackgroundHazard	Minimum background hazard. Either a single number, or a vector of length nSites.
maxBackgroundHazard	Maximum background hazard. Either a single number, or a vector of length nSites.
hazardRatio	Hazard ratio.
randomEffectSd	Standard deviation of the log(hazardRatio). Fixed effect if equal to 0.

Value

An object of type simulationSettings.
