Importing Marginal Distributions

importing_marginal_distributions.Rmd

Marginal distributions provided by a TRE should contain the following files:

  • binary_variables.csv
  • categorical_variables.csv
  • continuous_variables.csv
  • continuous_quantiles.csv
  • summary.csv

Depending on the data from the TRE some of the files may not be present.

The marginal distributions can be imported using the import_marginal_distributions() function. By default the marginal distributions will be imported from the current working directory:

The folder of the marginals can be changes using the folder_path parameter of the import_marginal_distributions() function:

library(RESIDE)
marginals <- import_marginal_distributions(
  folder_path = "/Users/ryan/marginals"
)
Additionally any of the file names can be changed using the relevant import_marginal_distributions()
parameters:
  • binary_variables_file
  • categorical_variables_file
  • continuous_variables_file
  • continuous_quantiles_file
  • summary_file

However this is generally not advised.
