These functions can be used for generating random MIC values and disk diffusion diameters, for AMR data analysis practice. By providing a microorganism and antimicrobial drug, the generated results will reflect reality as much as possible.
Usage
random_mic(size = NULL, mo = NULL, ab = NULL, ...)
random_disk(size = NULL, mo = NULL, ab = NULL, ...)
random_rsi(size = NULL, prob_RSI = c(0.33, 0.33, 0.33), ...)Arguments
- size
- desired size of the returned vector. If used in a data.frame call or - dplyrverb, will get the current (group) size if left blank.
- mo
- any character that can be coerced to a valid microorganism code with - as.mo()
- ab
- any character that can be coerced to a valid antimicrobial drug code with - as.ab()
- ...
- ignored, only in place to allow future extensions 
- prob_RSI
- a vector of length 3: the probabilities for "R" (1st value), "S" (2nd value) and "I" (3rd value) 
Details
The base R function sample() is used for generating values.
Generated values are based on the EUCAST 2022 guideline as implemented in the rsi_translation data set. To create specific generated values per bug or drug, set the mo and/or ab argument.
