Simulate exponential cases

Source: R/simulate.R
simulate_exponential_cases.Rd

This function simulates cases from an exponential distribution. The user may specify the rate parameter r, the sample size, and the upper bound of the survival time. If the rate parameter is 0, then this function defaults to the uniform distribution.

Usage

simulate_exponential_cases(r = 0.2, sample_size = 10000, seed = NULL, t = 30)

Arguments

r

The exponential growth rate parameter. Defaults to 0.2.

sample_size

The number of cases to simulate. Defaults to 10000.

seed

The random seed to be used in the simulation process. Defaults to NULL, which leaves the random number generator as it is.

t

Upper bound of the survival time. Defaults to 30.

Value

A data.frame with two columns: case (case number) and ptime (primary event time).
