Simulate secondary events based on a delay distribution

This function simulates secondary events based on a given delay distribution. The input dataset should have the primary event times in a column named ptime.

Usage

simulate_secondary(data, dist = rlnorm, ...)

Arguments

data

A data frame with the primary event times.

dist

The delay distribution to be used. Defaults to rlnorm().

...

Arguments to be passed to the delay distribution function.

Value

A data.frame that augments data with two new columns: delay (secondary event latency) and stime (the time of the secondary event).
