#### Step 1 --- Define your conditions under study and create design data.frame
# (use EXPLICIT names, avoid things like N <- 100. That's fine in functions, not here)
sample_sizes <- c(30, 60, 90, 120)
standard_deviation_ratios <- c(1, 4, 8)
group_size_ratios <- c(.5, 1, 2)
Design <- expand.grid(sample_size=sample_sizes,
group_size_ratio=group_size_ratios,
standard_deviation_ratio=standard_deviation_ratios)
dim(Design)
head(Design)
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#### Step 2 --- Define generate, analyse, and summarise functions
# skeleton functions to be edited
SimDesign_functions()
# help(generate)
Generate <- function(condition, fixed_objects = NULL){
#require packages/define functions if needed, or better yet index with the :: operator
N <- condition$sample_size
grs <- condition$group_size_ratio
sd <- condition$standard_deviation_ratio
if(grs < 1){
N2 <- N / (1/grs + 1)
N1 <- N - N2
} else {
N1 <- N / (grs + 1)
N2 <- N - N1
}
group1 <- rnorm(N1)
group2 <- rnorm(N2, sd=sd)
dat <- data.frame(group = c(rep('g1', N1), rep('g2', N2)), DV = c(group1, group2))
return(dat)
}
# help(analyse)
Analyse <- function(condition, dat, fixed_objects = NULL, parameters = NULL){
# require packages/define functions if needed, or better yet index with the :: operator
require(stats)
mygreatfunction <- function(x) print('Do some stuff')
#wrap computational statistics in try() statements to control estimation problems
welch <- try(t.test(DV ~ group, dat), silent=TRUE)
ind <- try(t.test(DV ~ group, dat, var.equal=TRUE), silent=TRUE)
# check if any errors occurred. This will re-draw the data
check_error(welch, ind)
# In this function the p values for the t-tests are returned,
# and make sure to name each element, for future reference
ret <- c(welch = welch$p.value, independent = ind$p.value)
return(ret)
}
# help(summarise)
Summarise <- function(condition, results, fixed_objects = NULL, parameters_list = NULL){
#find results of interest here (e.g., alpha < .1, .05, .01)
lessthan.05 <- EDR(results, alpha = .05)
# return the results that will be appended to the design input
ret <- c(lessthan.05=lessthan.05)
return(ret)
}
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#### Step 3 --- Collect results by looping over the rows in design
# test to see if it works and for debugging
Final <- runSimulation(design=Design, replications=5, parallel=FALSE,
generate=Generate, analyse=Analyse, summarise=Summarise)
# complete run with 1000 replications per condition
Final <- runSimulation(design=Design, replications=1000, parallel=TRUE,
generate=Generate, analyse=Analyse, summarise=Summarise)
head(Final)
View(Final)
## Debug the generate function. See ?browser for help on debugging
## Type help to see available commands (e.g., n, c, where, ...),
## ls() to see what has been defined, and type Q to quit the debugger
runSimulation(design=Design, replications=1000,
generate=Generate, analyse=Analyse, summarise=Summarise,
parallel=TRUE, edit='generate')
## Alternatively, place a browser() within the desired function line to
## jump to a specific location
Summarise <- function(condition, results, parameters_list = NULL){
#find results of interest here (e.g., alpha < .1, .05, .01)
nms <- c('welch', 'independent')
lessthan.05 <- EDR(results[,nms], alpha = .05)
browser()
# return the results that will be appended to the design input
ret <- c(lessthan.05=lessthan.05)
return(ret)
}
runSimulation(design=Design, replications=1000,
generate=Generate, analyse=Analyse, summarise=Summarise,
parallel=TRUE)
## EXTRA: To run the simulation on a MPI cluster, use the following setup on each node (not run)
# library(doMPI)
# cl <- startMPIcluster()
# registerDoMPI(cl)
# Final <- runSimulation(design=Design, replications=1000, MPI=TRUE, save=TRUE,
# generate=Generate, analyse=Analyse, summarise=Summarise)
# closeCluster(cl)
# mpi.quit()
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Step 4 --- Post-analysis: Create a new R file for analyzing the Final data.frame with R based
# regression stuff, so use the lm() function to find main effects, interactions, plots, etc.
# This is where you get to be a data analyst!
psych::describe(Final)
psych::describeBy(Final, group = Final$standard_deviation_ratio)
# make into factors (if helpful)
Final$f_gsr <- with(Final, factor(group_size_ratio))
Final$f_sdr <- with(Final, factor(standard_deviation_ratio))
