generateBiomarkerTestSets: Convenience function to generate simulated data and save each test set as a separate file

Description

Convenience function to generate simulated data and save each test set as a separate file

Usage

generateBiomarkerTestSets(
  workingDir = "",
  subset = "all",
  rounding = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Value

No return value, instead the data files are generated and saved in the workingDir

Arguments

workingDir

(character) specifying the working directory where 'workingDir/Data/biomarker' folders will be generated containing the simulated data

subset

(character, numeric, or data.frame) to specify for which subset the data should be generated and the algorithms later applied to. character options: 'all' (default) for all test sets; a distribution type: 'normal', 'skewed', 'heavilySkewed', 'shifted'; a biomarker: 'Hb', 'Ca', 'FT4', 'AST', 'LACT', 'GGT', 'TSH', 'IgE', 'CRP', 'LDH'; 'Runtime' for runtime analysis subset; numeric option: number of test sets per biomarker, e.g. 10; data.frame: customized subset of table with test set specification

rounding

(logical) indicating whether decimal places stated in test set specification should be applied (default, TRUE), if FALSE, data will be rounded to 5 decimal places to mimic unrounded data

verbose

(logical) indicating if the progress counter should be shown (default: TRUE)

# example generating a subset of 2 test sets per biomarker 
generateBiomarkerTestSets(workingDir = tempdir(), subset =  2)
