In scientific-computing-solutions/badminton: Simulation of Continuous-Time Discrete-Space Markov Chains

Description

Allows an entire arm to be added to an object of type ProgressionGraph The Weibull shape parameter for the rates for each node will be 1, to change use SetShape.ProgressionGraph

Usage

AddArm.ProgressionGraph(object, armName, armProgression, deathNode = "death",
  edges = "immediate", visitSchedule = NULL, isVisitNode = FALSE)

Arguments

object	the ProgressionGraph to add the new arm
armName	the name of the arm, for example "control"
armProgression	a vector of states subjects experience for example "progressing", "progressed". This vector should not include the "death" state
deathNode	the name of the death node in the graph, which should already exist
edges	determines which edges are to be added for arm must be one of "none","immediate","death","all". none: no edges added immediate: must progress sequentially through all states death: must progress sequentially through all states or go straight to death all: can jump straight to any state (always progressing towards death)
visitSchedule	Either a VisitSchedule object which is the visit schedule to be used for the nodes of this arm or NULL if no visit schedule is being used (or visit Schedule is to be added later)
isVisitNode	A logical value: Are the new node ‘visit’ nodes, i.e. nodes for which the transition into it is unknown until the next visit

Value

a new ProgressionGraph with the arm added. The new nodes will be of the form armName.armProgression[i]
