InsertRate.EventSim: Insert a transition rate into 'EventSim' object

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

Description

Add a numeric value or function as the transition rate for an edge of the DAG for a specific patient and calendar time. If a rate already exists for this edge, patient and calendar time then the previous value is overwritten. See the Vignette for further details.

Usage

InsertRate.EventSim(object, fromNode, toNode, calendarStartTime = NULL,
  patientStartTime = NULL, rate)

Arguments

object	The EventSim object this rate is to be added into.
fromNode	The rate being added is for subjects leaving this node (i.e. state) entering toNode. The node should be a string matching a node name in object$progressionGraph
toNode	The rate being added is for subjects arriving into this node from toNode. The node should be a string matching a node name in object$progressionGraph
calendarStartTime	The calendar start time for this rate to be used. The rate will only be used from this time until the next calendar time switch. If NULL this rate is used for all calendar start times. Note calendar start time must match a calendar time in object$Switches
patientStartTime	The patient start time for this rate to be used
rate	Transition rate. Either a (non-negative) value or a function. See Vignette for further details

Value

object with the appropriate rates added
