simulation {SLTCA}

Simulate a dataset which can be analyzed by SLTCA

Description

Simulate a dataset with longitudinal observations.

Usage

simulation(n)

Arguments

n

Sample size.

Value

Returns a data frame with 6 longitudinal features y.1 - y.6, including count (y.1 and y.2), binary (y.3 and y.4) and continuous (y.5 and y.6) type. Variable baselinecov is the baseline risk factor of latent classes. Variable latent is the true latent class labels.
