SimDesign (version 2.3)

Summarise: Summarise simulated data using various population comparison statistics

Description

This collapses the simulation results within each condition to composite estimates such as RMSE, bias, Type I error rates, coverage rates, etc. See the See Also section below for useful functions to be used within Summarise.

Usage

Summarise(condition, results, fixed_objects = NULL)

Arguments

condition

a single row from the design input from runSimulation (as a data.frame), indicating the simulation conditions

results

a data.frame (if Analyse returned a named numeric vector of any length), a vector (if Analyse returned a single unnamed numeric value), or a list (if Analyse returned a list or multi-rowed data.frame) containing the analysis results from Analyse, where each cell is stored in a unique row/list element

fixed_objects

object passed down from runSimulation

Value

must return a named numeric vector or data.frame with the desired meta-simulation results
