Arguments

trt_list

A vector of the names of the interventions evaluated in the simulation

common_all_inputs

A list of inputs common across patients that do not change within a simulation

common_pt_inputs

A list of inputs that change across patients but are not affected by the intervention

unique_pt_inputs

A list of inputs that change across each intervention

init_event_list

A list of initial events and event times. If no initial events are given, a "Start" event at time 0 is created automatically

evt_react_list

A list of event reactions

util_ongoing_list

A list of utilities that are accrued at an ongoing basis

util_instant_list

A list of utilities that are accrued instantaneously at an event

util_cycle_list

A list of utilities that are accrued in cycles

cost_ongoing_list

A list of costs that are accrued at an ongoing basis

cost_instant_list

A list of costs that are accrued instantaneously at an event

cost_cycle_list

A list of costs that are accrued in cycles

npats

The number of patients to be simulated

n_sim

The number of simulations to run per patient

psa_bool

A boolean to determine if PSA should be conducted. If n_sim > 1 and psa_bool = FALSE, the differences between simulations will be due to sampling

ncores

The number of cores to use for parallel computing

drc

The discount rate for costs

drq

The discount rate for LYs/QALYs

input_out

A vector of variables to be returned in the output data frame

ipd

A boolean to determine if individual patient data should be returned. If set to false, only the main aggregated outputs will be returned (slightly speeds up code)

debug

A boolean to determine if non-parallel RunEngine function should be used, which facilitates debugging. Setting this option to true will ignore the value of ncores

Value

A list of data frames with the simulation results
