This function builds a simulated dataset and tabulates the simulated trajectories using the parameters supplied in the function call.
Usage
buildDGP(
n = 1000,
t = 3,
rate = 0.5,
balance_dir = 0.5,
balance_res = 0.5,
strength = 0.5,
reliable = 1,
export = FALSE,
status = FALSE
)Arguments
- n
The number of individuals in the DGP.
- t
The number of time periods.
- rate
The percent of individuals changing across the panel.
- balance_dir
The direction of change, where 0 means all negative change, 1 means all positive change, and values in-between means the percentage of changers changing positively.
- balance_res
The marginal distribution of the outcome (the percent distribution of 0s and 1).
- strength
The strength of change in the latent variable.
- reliable
The reliability score of the outcome measurement.
- export
If
export = TRUE, the function exports the simulated dataset.- status
if
status = TRUE, the function exports changer status.
