writeData: Write scenario data

In MSToolkit: The MSToolkit library for clinical trial design

Description

Writes a single element of scenario data (replicate, micro evaluation or macro evaluation) to a file.

Usage

writeData(dat, 
  dataNumber, 
  dataType = c("ReplicateData", "MacroEvaluation", "MicroEvaluation"), 
  workingPath = getwd(), 
  append = FALSE, 
  prefix = switch(dataType, ReplicateData = "replicate", 
    MicroEvaluation = "micro", MacroEvaluation = "macro"), 
  method = getEctdDataMethod())

Arguments

dat	(Required) A data frame containing the data to be written
dataNumber	(Required) The entry number of the data - this must be a whole number between 1 and 9999
dataType	(Optional) The type of data to be written - this must be either "MacroEvaluation" "MicroEvaluation" or "ReplicateData" (default is "ReplicateData")
workingPath	(Optional) The path of the current scenario. The working directory is used by default
append	(Optional) A logical value. If the file for the entry of data you are specifying already exists, setting append to TRUE will cause writeData to append to the end of that file. Otherwise it will overwrite the file. The default is FALSE
prefix	(Optional) Prefix for exported file name
method	(Optional) Data storage method (i.e. where to extract the data from). Given by getEctdDataMethod by default

Value

Returns TRUE if the file was successfully created
