calculate the capacity and renege parameters over the period of data per month waited

Usage

calibrate_capacity_renege_params(
  referrals,
  incompletes,
  completes,
  max_months_waited = 12,
  redistribute_m0_reneges,
  full_breakdown = FALSE
)

Arguments

referrals

data frame with two columns; period_id and referrals. This represents the count of referrals in each period

incompletes

data from with three columns; period_id, months_waited_id, and incompletes. This represents the count of incomplete pathways by the number of months waited for each period

completes

data from with three columns; period_id, months_waited_id, and treatments. This represents the count of completed pathways by the number of months waited for each period

max_months_waited

integer; the maximum number of months to group patients waiting times by for the analysis. Data are published up to 104 weeks, so 24 is likely to be the maximum useful value for this argument.

redistribute_m0_reneges

logical; should negative renege counts in the zero months waited stock be reassigned to referrals?

full_breakdown

logical; include a full breakdown of monthly transitions by period. FALSE provides the parameters by months_waited_id only

Examples

max_months <- 4
refs <- create_dummy_data(
  type = "referral",
  max_months_waited = max_months,
  number_periods = 6
)
incomp <- create_dummy_data(
  type = "incomplete",
  max_months_waited = max_months,
  number_periods = 6
)

comp <- create_dummy_data(
  type = "complete",
  max_months_waited = max_months,
  number_periods = 6
)

params <- calibrate_capacity_renege_params(
  referrals = refs,
  incompletes = incomp,
  completes = comp,
  max_months_waited = max_months,
  redistribute_m0_reneges = TRUE
)
