Create data and plot power curves calculated using power_marginaleffect() for a list of models

Iterate a process of simulating test data from test_data_fun, making predictions using models in model_list, and calculating power using power_marginaleffect() across a number of sample sizes ns and iterations n_iter. The results are averaged and used to create a plot of the resulting power curves.

Usage

repeat_power_marginaleffect(
  target_effect,
  exposure_prob,
  model_list = default_power_model_list(),
  test_data_fun = function(n) {
     glm_data(Y ~ 1 + 3 * log(W), W = stats::runif(n, min
    = 1, max = 50))
 },
  ns = seq(10, 300, 10),
  desired_power = 0.9,
  n_iter = 1,
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'postcard_rpm'
plot(x, cols = NULL, ...)

Arguments

target_effect: Passed to power_marginaleffect()
exposure_prob: Passed to power_marginaleffect()
model_list: a named list of models used to get predictions on generated test data sets that are then passed to power_marginaleffect() as predictions. The elements of model_list need to have an existing predict() method. The default is an ANCOVA and a prognostic model fitted with fit_best_learner() to a simple data set of 1000 observations generated with a non-linear effect of a single covariate using glm_data().
test_data_fun: a function with a single argument n that generates test data sets for the sample sizes ns specified. The default generates data using glm_data() with the same data generating process as the training data used to fit the default models in model_list.
ns: a numeric vector of sample sizes
desired_power: a numeric between 0 and 1 indicating the desired power level
n_iter: a numeric indicating a number of iterations to process and average over
...: additional arguments passed to power_marginaleffect()
x: an object of class postcard_rpm created by repeat_power_marginaleffect()
cols: a (potentially named) character vector of colors for the different models in model_list

Value

repeat_power_marginal returns an object of class postcard_rpm, which is just a data.frame with a plot method defined. The plot method returns a ggplot2 object.
