bpcp2sampControl {bpcp}

Control function for bpcp2samp

Description

Call function to change any one of options, and outputs a list with all defaults except argument that you changed.

Usage

bpcp2sampControl(Delta = 0, stype = "km", eps = 10^-8,
    nmc=10^6, method="mm.mc", seed=391291)

Arguments

Delta

width of grouped confidence intervals, defaults to 0

stype

type of survival estimate, either "km" for Kaplan-Meier or "mue" for median unbiased estimator

eps

small value to make integration tractable

nmc

number of Monte Carlo replications

method

either 'mm.mc' (method of moments for one sample, meld with Monte Carlo) or 'mc.mc' (Monte Carlo for one sample and melding), see details.

seed

random number seed, if NULL do not set random number seed

Details

We set the seed by default, so that the same data set will always give the same results. If you are doing simulations, this setting of the seed will give problems. So use seed=NULL.

For method='mm.mc' this is shorthand for calculate the method of moments for one sample, and meld together the two sampling using Monte Carlo methodss; however, technically, that is only done when midp=TRUE, if midp=FALSE then the melding uses numeric integration.

Value

A list containing the 6 arguments.
