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 dplyr verb, 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)

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 EUCAST 2022 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.
