<p>class <code><mic></code> for <code>random_mic()</code> (see <code><ahref='as.mic.html'>as.mic()</a></code>) and class <code><disk></code> for <code>random_disk()</code> (see <code><ahref='as.disk.html'>as.disk()</a></code>)</p>
<p>Generated values are based on the latest EUCAST guideline implemented in the <ahref='rsi_translation.html'>rsi_translation</a> data set. To create specific generated values per bug or drug, set the <code>mo</code> and/or <code>ab</code> argument.</p>
The <ahref='lifecycle.html'>lifecycle</a> of this function is <strong>maturing</strong>. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome <ahref='https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues'>to suggest changes at our repository</a> or <ahref='AMR.html'>write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')</a>.</p>
<p>On our website <ahref='https://msberends.github.io/AMR/'>https://msberends.github.io/AMR/</a> you can find <ahref='https://msberends.github.io/AMR/articles/AMR.html'>a comprehensive tutorial</a> about how to conduct AMR data analysis, the <ahref='https://msberends.github.io/AMR/reference/'>complete documentation of all functions</a> and <ahref='https://msberends.github.io/AMR/articles/WHONET.html'>an example analysis using WHONET data</a>.
