Simulate.EventSim: Perform a time to event simulation

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

Description

A time to event simulation is run for subjects specified by startCounts Each subject is simulated until enough time has passed so that the rate matrices will no longer switch and the subject cannot transition into another state

All rates which have been defined as formulae must be evaluated before calling this function See EvaluateFormula.EventSim. If this is not the case then an error message will be displayed

Usage

Simulate.EventSim(object, startCounts, seed = NULL, duration = Inf)

Arguments

object	An EventSim object
startCounts	A vector containing nodeNames and number of subjects starting in this node, for example c("control.progressing",5,"active.progressing",5). If a node is not included in this list then it is assumed that no subjects start at this location
seed	Random seed (for recruitment)
duration	The patient time at which the simulation should end.

Value

A list containing a data frame ("data") containing columns id, state, patient_transition_time which describe which patient transitions into which state at which patient_time and a vector or recruitment times (recruitmentTimes)
