Simulate a dataset from a validated recipe (list-only)

Simulate a dataset from a validated recipe (list-only)

Usage

simulate_from_recipe(recipe, seed = NULL)

Arguments

recipe

A validated recipe list (use validate_recipe()).

seed

Optional integer retained as recipe/provenance metadata; it does not set the random-number generator. Call set.seed() before this function for reproducible simulation.

Value

A data.frame with columns time, status, arm (if treatment present), plus covariates. Attribute "achieved_censoring" is attached.

Examples

covs <- list(list(name="x", type="continuous", dist="normal", params=list(mean=0, sd=1)))
rec <- recipe_quick_aft(120, "aft_lognormal",
        baseline=list(mu=2.2, sigma=0.5), treat_effect=-0.2,
        covariates=covs, target_censoring=0.25)
set.seed(11)
dat <- simulate_from_recipe(rec)
