PSM.simulate {PSM}R Documentation

Create simulation data for multiple individuals

Description

Simulates data for multiple individuals in a mixed effects model based on stochastic differential equations using an euler scheme.

Usage

PSM.simulate(Model, Data, THETA, deltaTime, longX=TRUE) 

Arguments

Model A list containing the model components either Linear or Non-Linear Model list.*
Data List with elements described below. No Data$Y is needed as it is generated through the simulation. The number of individuals simulated is equal to length(Data).
Time
Time vector
U
Input list for the Model
covar
Covariates list
THETA Vector of population parameters
deltaTime Time Step in the Euler scheme
longX Boolean. Toggles output of the entire simulated outcome of the states

* See description in PSM.estimate.

Details

The eta is drawn from the multivariate normal distribution N(0,OMEGA). The simulation is an euler based method but for every time interval dt the model is predicted and the states affected by system noise (SIG).

The measurements are added an normal error term belonging to N(0,S).

The function mvrnorm from the MASS pacakge is used to to generate random numbers fra multivariate normal distributions.

Value

The simulated outcome of the model is returned in a list, where each element is the data for an individual.

X Simulated states sampled at time points for measurements
Y Simulated measurements
Time Time points for measurements
U Input vector used in the simulation
eta The random effects used in the simulation
Dose The dose list used in the simulation
longX Entire outcome of simulated states
longTime Time points for longX.
