makeSample {rhosp}

create a sample of the first model stored in a file

Description

make a sample of the first model, that is to say simulate the sequence of the random variables Xi (stay duration) and the sequence of Zi (side effect reporting)

Usage

makeSample(file, nbPatient, disXi, disP)

Arguments

file

the filename in which the simulation will be stored

nbPatient

the number of patients for the simulation

disXi

the distribution of the variable Xi : disXi is a 3 elements list : rangen stands for a random positive variable generator ; nbparam for number of parameter of this distribution and param for a list of parameters

disP

the side effect probability (success probability of Zi) p : disP is a 3 elements list : disfun stands for a distribution function ; nbparam for number of parameter of this distribution and param for a list of parameters

Value

a NULL object.
