Function to create a toy dataset for package testing

Usage

makeToyData(n, changecoef.link = 0, length.panels = 1, binary = FALSE, b0 = 1)

Arguments

n: number denoting the amount of data to generate.
changecoef.link: Coefficient on the scale of the link function to determine the overall change in the population.
length.panels: vector denoting the length of the panels to be created.
binary: logical (default = FALSE) denoting whether to generate binary data. If FALSE, poisson data is generated.
b0: intercept parameter

Value

Returns a data frame of columns x x covariate evph covariate denoting pre(0)/post(1) event mu poisson response mu.bin binary response (only if binary==TRUE) panels column denoting which panel each row corresponds to. Used to subsequently add correlation to the data.
