tau2zero {rtmpt}

Set process completion times to zero

Description

Setting process completion times (taus) to zero or change it back to be estimated.

Usage

tau2zero(model, names, outcomes, values = 0)

set_tau_zero(model, names, outcomes, values = 0)

Arguments

model

A list of the class ertmpt_model.

names

Character vector with process names.

outcomes

Character vector of length length(names) indicating for which process outcome the process completion time should be zero or changed back to be estimated. Allowed characters are:

• "minus": the negative outcome of the process.

• "plus": the positive outcome of the process.

values

Numerical vector of length one or length(names). You have the following options for the elements of the numeric vector:

• 0: suppress the process time/rate, i.e., set the process completion time (tau) with the specified output to zero.

• NA: estimate the process time (tau)

Value

A list of the class ertmpt_model.
