tmt_mstdesign {tmt}R Documentation

Function to Translate the mstdesign Syntax

Description

This function translates the specified multistage design for different purposes and functions used in this package. It is possible to apply this function on deterministic as well as probabilistic multistage designs with either sequential or cumulative routing. A detailed instruciton of the application can be found in the package vignette.

Usage

tmt_mstdesign(
  mstdesign,
  options = c("design", "simulation", "modules", "items")
)

Arguments

mstdesign

definition of desired multistage design

options

vector of required output. 'modules' = Matrix with the classification of modules and items. ' simulation' = list of all stages. 'design' = matrix of all branches. 'items' vector of all Items.

Value

List with following entries

modules

Matrix which contains each module with its corresponding items

simulation

List of the multistage design. Each element within the list contains a matrix for each stage

design

Matrix of all possible branches

items

Vector of item names
