Simulate cluster-randomized trial data with continuous outcomes

Usage

genContCRT(
  m = c(1, 1),
  m_alloc = c(0.5, 0.5),
  n = c(1, 1),
  n_cv = c(0, 0),
  mu_vec = c(0, 1),
  sigma_vec = c(1, 1),
  rho = c(0, 0)
)

Arguments

m

Number of clusters.

m_alloc

Allocation ratio of clusters per arm. Default is c(0.5, 0.5).

n

Mean size of each cluster.

mu_vec

Vector of means for control and treatment groups, respectively.

sigma_vec

Vector of standard deviations for control and treatment groups, respectively.

rho

Intraclass correlation coefficient. Default value is 0.

Value

Simulated continuous outcomes represented as an n x 4 matrix with the columns encoding the treatment arm, cluster, individual, and response.
