biv.rec.sim {BivRec}

Deprecated: Use simBivRec

Description

Deprecated function from the previous version. Use simBivRec.

Usage

biv.rec.sim(nsize, beta1, beta2, tau_c, set)

Arguments

nsize

Sample size which refers to the number of subjects in the data set where each subject could have multiple episodes of events.

beta1

True coefficients for Type I gap times in the accelerated failure time model (AFT).

beta2

True coefficients for Type II gap times in the accelerated failure time model (AFT).

tau_c

Maximum support of censoring time. It can take values as follows:

• tau_c=63 (default): corresponds to a 15% censoring rate for each scenario in Tables 1 and 2 of Lee, Huang, Xu, Luo (2018).

• tau_c=30: corresponds to a 30% censoring rate for each scenario in Tables 1 and 2 of Lee, Huang, Xu, Luo (2018).

set

Simulation setting based on scenarios outlined in Tables 1 and 2 in Lee, Huang, Xu, Luo (2018). Choose 1.1 (default) for scenario 1 with \rho=1 in the covariance matrix of the frailty vector, 1.2 for scenario 1 with \rho=0.5, 1.3 for scenario 1 with \rho=0 and 2.0 for scenario 2. Default is 1.1.

Value

Data frame with the alternating recurrent event data and one continuous and one binary covariate.
