Generate nsim
sets of model parameters for simulation based on the
results of a (final) model
CreateParametersForSimulation(nsim, ThetaMean, ThetaCovar, OmegaModeList, OmegaDfList, SigmaModeList, SigmaDfList, digits = 4)
nsim |
the number of simulations/sets of model parameters |
ThetaMean |
vector containing the mean values of the fixed-effect parameters |
ThetaCovar |
variance-covariance matrix of the fixed-effect distributions |
OmegaModeList |
List with elements specifying the blocks of the block-diagonal variance-covariance matrix of the random effects. Each element of the list is the data frame that specifies the central values of the variance-covariance block. |
OmegaDfList |
Vector that specifies degrees of freedoms for each block of the
variance-covariance matrix of the random effects. Number of elements in OmegaModeList
list and OmegaDfList vector should be equal. |
SigmaModeList |
List with elements specifying the blocks of the block-diagonal variance-covariance matrix of the residual errors. Each element of the list is the data frame that specifiesthe central values of the variance-covariance block. |
SigmaDfList |
Vector that specifies the degrees of freedoms for each block of the
variance-covariance matrix of the residual errors. Number of elements in SigmaModeList and
SigmaDfList vector should be equal. |
digits |
number of significant digits in the output (the default value is 4) |
The output of the function is the data frame that contains the parameter data set.
