hēRo3 includes a variety of additional functions for performing lookups, working with probabilities, and doing other miscellaneous calculations. A complete listing of these functions and their usage is provided in the table below.
Function |
Description |
Example |
look_up(...) |
Look up a value in a table. Similar to vlookup in Excel. By default, look_up will only perform exact matching. To perform a range lookup, set the optional argument "bin" equal to TRUE. |
look_up( |
rescale_prob(...) | Rescale a probability defined over a given interval to one defined over a different interval, assuming a constant rate. Used to define transition probabilities irrespective of cycle length. |
rescale_prob(my_prob, to = 1, from = 30) |
rate_to_prob(...) | Calculate the probability of an event given a rate, the length of the interval, and the duration over which the rate is estimated. |
rate_to_prob(my_rate, to = 365, per = 30) |
by_group(...) | Make a formula whose value depends on the group. Expects one argument for each group with name of the argument corresponding to group name and value corresponding to value for that group. |
by_group( |
by_strategy(...) | Make a formula whose value depends on the strategy. Expects one argument for each strategy with name of the argument corresponding to strategy name and value corresponding to value for that strategy. |
by_strategy( |
