rxErrTypeCombine function

Combine transformations and error structures

Combine error information to figure out what transformation is being applied for the current endpoint

rxErrTypeCombine(oldErrType, newErrType)

Arguments

• oldErrType: This is the old transformation, by default is zero representing no prior transformation. This parameter is first to allow piping. When the parameter addTransform is missing and oldErrType is a character value, this functions swaps oldErrType and addTransform and assigns oldErrType to zero assuming that there is no prior distribution.
• newErrType: This is the new distribution that is being "added" to the current transformation. These assumes the inputs are in the preferred distribution name, as determined by rxPreferredDistributionName()

Returns

The new transformation as a factor

Examples

rxErrTypeCombine("probitNorm")

rxErrTypeCombine("probitNorm") %>%
  rxErrTypeCombine("boxCox")
