Description

Generate a set of survey participants

Usage

simSurvey(
  ofile = NA,
  yr = 5,
  nsub = 5000,

  pmv2 = 0.17,
  pmv1 = 2/3 * pmv2,
  seed = NA
)

Arguments

ofile	A string. The file name for the file containing the key parameters.
yr	A single value. The number of years of the comparison trial group (either 4 or 5)
