Sample times between patient arrivals using the exponential distribution.

cohorts_of_n(n = 3, mean_time_delta = 1)

Arguments

n

integer, sample arrival times for this many patients.

mean_time_delta

the average gap between patient arrival times. I.e. the reciprocal of the rate parameter in an Exponential distribution.

Value

data.frame with column time_delta containing durations of time between patient arrivals.
