simulatePlpData: Generate simulated data

Description

simulateplpData creates a plpData object with simulated data.

Usage

simulatePlpData(plpDataSimulationProfile, n = 10000)

Value

An object of type plpData.

Arguments

plpDataSimulationProfile

An object of type plpDataSimulationProfile as generated using the
createplpDataSimulationProfile function.

n

The size of the population to be generated.

Details

This function generates simulated data that is in many ways similar to the original data on which the simulation profile is based.

Examples

# first load the simulation profile to use
data("simulationProfile")
# then generate the simulated data
plpData <- simulatePlpData(simulationProfile, n = 100)
nrow(plpData$cohorts)
