ctmaSV function

ctmaSV

derives start values by average discrete time SEM effects, converting them to continuous time, and inversely apply transformations used by 'ctsem'

ctmaSV(
  ctmaInitFit = NULL,
  activeDirectory = NULL,
  primaryStudies = NULL,
  coresToUse = 1,
  replaceSV = TRUE
)

Arguments

• ctmaInitFit: object to which all single 'ctsem' fits of primary studies has been assigned to (i.e., what has been returned by ctmaInit)
• activeDirectory: defines another active directory than the one used in ctmaInit
• primaryStudies: if ctmaInitFit does not contain the primaryStudies object created with ctmaPrep it could be added
• coresToUse: if negative, the value is subtracted from available cores, else value = cores to use
• replaceSV: if TRUE replaces startValues in primaryStudies, else it saves them as list element inits

Returns

returns a modified list of primary studies with starting values added or replaced

Examples

## Not run:

newPrimaryStudyList <- ctmaSV(ctmaInitFit=CoTiMAInitFit_6)
