Example data with continuous outcomes
Description
A simulated data set containing 7901 observations, 5 continuous covariates and 100 providers.
Usage
data(ExampleDataLinear)
Format
A list containing the following elements:
- Y
a vector representing continuous outcomes. Generated as a linear combination of provider-specific effects, covariates, and a random error term (
\epsilon
), where\epsilon
follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.- ProvID
a vector representing identifier for each provider. The number of individuals per provider is generated from a Poisson distribution with mean 80.
- Z
a data frame containing 5 continuous variables. Generated from a multivariate normal distribution, where the mean is calculated as
(\gamma_i - \mu_{\gamma}) \cdot \rho / \sigma_{\gamma}
with\mu_{\gamma} = \log(4/11)
and\sigma_{\gamma} = 0.4
, and the correlation between covariates and provider effects is 0.1.
