Sample times between patient arrivals using the exponential distribution.
Usage
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.
