addnoise: Creates random errors for use in power.trend.
Description
This function is used within power.trend.
Distribution of noise can be either Normal, Poisson or Negative Binomial. The mean values are entered
as a parameter (possibly generated by function generate.trend). Other parameters (sd for Normal,
nbsize
for Negative Binomial) need to be given. Values in meanvalues are used as the mean values for one of the three
specified distributions and then a random allocation is made for each of the nobs values, where nobs is the
length of meanvalues.
Usage
addnoise(meanvalues, reps, distribution, sd, nbsize, randeffect, randeffect.sd)
Arguments
meanvalues
Vector of mean values
reps
Number of replicates per time point
distribution
Character string which must be one of Normal (default), Poisson or Negbin
sd
Standard Deviation for Normal distribution
nbsize
Size parameter for Negative Binomial distribution
randeffect

randeffect.sd

Value
Output is a vector of the same length as meanvalues.
