ectdDataMethod: Current data storage method

In MSToolkit: The MSToolkit library for clinical trial design

Usage

getEctdDataMethod()
setEctdDataMethod(method) 

Arguments

method

(Required) The data storage method to use (either 'CSV', 'RData' or 'Internal'

Details

Gets (getEctdDataMethod) and sets (setEctdDataMethod) the current "data storage" method, used for the storage of simulated trial data. The choices of storage method are: * CSV - Replicate data stored in seperate CSV files outside of R * RData - Replicate data stored in seperate RData files outside of R * Internal - Replicate data stored as a list of data frames in an internal environment (.ectdEnv$DataStore)

Note: The data storage only impacts replicate data - micro and macro evaluation data is always held as CSV files

Value
