These functions can be used for generating random MIC values and disk diffusion diameters, for AMR analysis practice.
random_mic(size, mo = NULL, ab = NULL, ...) random_disk(size, mo = NULL, ab = NULL, ...) random_rsi(size, prob_RSI = c(0.33, 0.33, 0.33), ...)
Arguments
| size | desired size of the returned vector |
|---|---|
| mo | any character that can be coerced to a valid microorganism code with |
| ab | any character that can be coerced to a valid antimicrobial agent code with |
| ... | extension for future versions, not used at the moment |
| prob_RSI | a vector of length 3: the probabilities for R (1st value), S (2nd value) and I (3rd value) |
Value
class <mic> for random_mic() (see as.mic()) and class <disk> for random_disk() (see as.disk())
Details
The base R function sample() is used for generating values.
Generated values are based on the latest EUCAST guideline implemented in the rsi_translation data set. To create specific generated values per bug or drug, set the mo and/or ab argument.
Maturing lifecycle
The lifecycle of this function is maturing. 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 to suggest changes at our repository or write us an email (see section 'Contact Us').
