Random number generation expressions are used torandomly sample model parameters from suitable distributions for probabilisticsensitivity analysis. These functions are typically used when evaluatingan object of class model_def defined using define_model().
Arguments
| expr | An expression used to randomly draw variates for each parameter ofinterest in the model. Braces should be used so that the resultof the last expression within the braces is evaluated. The expression mustreturn a list where each element is either a |
|---|---|
| n | Number of samples of the parameters to draw. |
| ... | Additional arguments to pass to the environment used to evaluate |
| x | An object of class |
| params | A list containing the values of parameters for random numbergeneration. Each element of the list should either be a |
| check | Whether to check the returned output so that (i) it returns a listand (ii) each element has the correct length or number of rows. Default is |
Value
define_rng() returns an object of class rng_def,which is a list containing the unevaluated random number generationexpressions passed to expr, n, and any additional arguments passed to... . eval_rng() evaluates the rng_def object and should return a list.
Details
hesim contains a number of random number generation functionsthat return parameter samples in convenient formatsand do not require the number of samples, n, as arguments(see rng_distributions). The random number generation expressionsare evaluated using eval_rng() and used within exprin define_rng(). If multivariate object is returned by eval_rng(),then the rows are random samples and columns aredistinct parameters (e.g., costs for each health state, elements of atransition probability matrix).
