set_assess_time: Adjusts assessment time for simulations

Description

Function for modifying the assessment time of a simulate_trials simulation. Set up to automatically read in either matrix or list formats from simulate_trials, and only these inputs are supported. Note that if recruitment had not finished in the input then any increases in assessment time cannot account for the missing patients. It is strongly recommended to initially simulate for at least the duration of the recruitment before reducing the number to missing patients. This function can also be used to change format and/or slim down data for time-driven simulations.

Usage

set_assess_time(data, time, output_type = c("input", "matrix", "list"),
  detailed_output = TRUE)

Arguments

data

Output file from simulate_trials. Only simulate_trials output is supported.

time

Positive number specifying the required assessment time.

output_type

Choice of "input" (output in same format as input),"matrix" (matrix format output) or "list" (list format output). Default="input".

detailed_output

Boolean to require full details of timings of competing processes. If FALSE, the simplified data only includes the *'ed output columns - this approximately halves RAM requirements. Default=TRUE (detailed).

Value

Returns the input simulated trial, in either matrix or list format, with modified assessment times. All columns dependent on this are also updated.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
example_sim <- simulate_trials(active_ecurve=Weibull(250,0.8),control_ecurve=Weibull(100,1),
rcurve=LinearR(12,100,100), assess=20, iterations=5,seed=12345,detailed_output=TRUE)

adjusted_example <- set_assess_time(data=example_sim,time=10)
# }
