ev: Event objects for simulating PK and other interventions
Description
An event object specifies dosing or other interventions that get implemented
during simulation. Event objects do similar things as data_set,
but simpler and quicker.
# S4 method for ev

Arguments
x
a model object

details
object
passed to show
time
event time
amt
dose amount
evid
event ID
cmt
compartment
ID
subject ID
replicate
logical; if TRUE, events will be replicated for
each individual in ID
until
the expected maximum observation time for this regimen
tinf
infusion time; if greater than zero, then the rate item
will be derived as amt/tinf
realize_addl
if FALSE (default), no change to addl
doses. If TRUE, addl doses are made explicit with
realize_addl

events object
Details
Required items in events objects include
time, amt, evid and cmt.
If not supplied, evid is assumed to be 1.
If not supplied, cmt is assumed to be 1.
If not supplied, time is assumed to be 0.
If amt is not supplied, an error will be generated.
If total is supplied, then addl will be set
to total - 1.
Other items can include ii, ss, and addl
(see data_set for details on all of these items).
ID may be specified as a vector.
If replicate is TRUE (default), then the events
regimen is replicated for each ID; otherwise, the number of
event rows must match the number of IDs entered
