mst_rules function

Define routing rules

Define routing rules for use in create_mst_test

mst_rules(...)

Arguments

• ...: routing rules defined using a a dot-like syntax, read --+ as an arrow and [:] as a range of score to move to the next stage

Returns

data.frame with columns...

Details

Each scoring rule in ... defines one or more routing rules together making up a booklet. For example, route1 = a[0:5] --+ d[9:15] --+ f means a start at module a, continue to module d when the score on a is between 0 and 5 (inclusive) and continue to g when the score on modules a + b is between 0 and 8 (for All routing) or the score on just module 'b' is between 0 and 8 (for Last routing). route1 becomes the id of the specific path or booklet, which must be supplied with the data later.

A routing design for a linear (non-multistage) booklet can simply be entered as mst_rules(my_booklet = my_single_module).

Examples

# a (complicated) three stage (1-3-3) routing design with 9 booklets and 7 modules

routing_rules = mst_rules(bk1 = M1[0:61] --+ M2[0:136]   --+ M5,
                          bk2 = M1[0:61] --+ M2[137:183] --+ M6,
                          bk3 = M1[0:61] --+ M2[184:Inf] --+ M7,

                          bk4 = M1[62:86] --+ M3[0:98]    --+ M5,
                          bk5 = M1[62:86] --+ M3[99:149]  --+ M6,
                          bk6 = M1[62:86] --+ M3[150:Inf] --+ M7,

                          bk7 = M1[87:Inf] --+ M4[0:98]    --+ M5,
                          bk8 = M1[87:Inf] --+ M4[99:130]  --+ M6,
                          bk9 = M1[87:Inf] --+ M4[131:Inf] --+ M7)
