metricTester (version 1.3.6)

defineBetaMetrics: Output all beta metrics as a list of named functions

Description

Creates a list of named functions, each of which accept a metrics.input object

Usage

defineBetaMetrics()

Value

A list of named functions

Details

All of the beta metrics we calculated for our manuscript are included in this function. To add additional functions, they can either be defined on the fly or, to permanently include a new metric in all downstream simulations, it can be included here. The function needs to be included with a name, and it must accept a metrics.input as input. If the function needs additional elements not included in that input, then the prepData function must also be revised.
