simulate_pps_data: Function to simulate PPS data

Description

Simulates PPS data for a prespecified hospital according to a steady state model of incidence ( see vignette "Overview of prevtoinc-Package" for details.)

Usage

simulate_pps_data(n.sample, steps, hospital)

Arguments

n.sample

number of beds to simulate

steps

number of steps to evolve the process

hospital

type of hospital as a list-object (see vignette for details)

Value

data frame with following columns

• A.loi - length of infection up to PPS

• L.loi - total length of infection

• A.los - length of stay up to PPS

• L.los - total length of stay

• patient.type - patient type
