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_sir(size = NULL, prob_SIR = 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_SIR
- A vector of length 3: the probabilities for "S" (1st value), "I" (2nd value) and "R" (3rd value). 
Details
The base R function sample() is used for generating values.
Generated values are based on the EUCAST 2024 guideline as implemented in the clinical_breakpoints data set. To create specific generated values per bug or drug, set the mo and/or ab argument.
