SimDataList Class

Description

A class for defining generated data for use as part of a simulation study. Objects of class SimDataList should not be created directly but by the constructor sim_data_list().

Slots

data_list

list of lists of matrices. The lists at the highest level differ in that the parameters used to generate the data. The matrices at lowest level are different iterations of the same data generation parameters.

guide

data.frame. guide contains information on the parameters that differ at the highest level of data_list.

effect

character. The column in guide that corresponds to the true treatment effect estimate (hazard ratio or odds ratio).

drift

character. The column in guide that corresponds to the drift between external and internal control arms. A drift >1 means the external arm experiences greater effects.

index

character. The column in guide that corresponds to the index of the parameter situations in data_list.
