simulate_design {DeclareDesign} | R Documentation |
Runs many simulations of a design and returns a simulations data.frame.
simulate_design(..., sims = 500)
simulate_designs(..., sims = 500)
... |
A design created using the + operator, or a set of designs. You can also provide a single list of designs, for example one created by |
sims |
The number of simulations, defaulting to 500. If sims is a vector of the form c(10, 1, 2, 1) then different steps of a design will be simulated different numbers of times. |
Different steps of a design may each be simulated different a number of times, as specified by sims. In this case simulations are grouped into "fans". The nested structure of simulations is recorded in the dataset using a set of variables named "step_x_draw." For example if sims = c(2,1,1,3) is passed to simulate_design, then there will be two distinct draws of step 1, indicated in variable "step_1_draw" (with values 1 and 2) and there will be three draws for step 4 within each of the step 1 draws, recorded in "step_4_draw" (with values 1 to 6).
