Dear all,
I would like to simulate a study in which the prevalence of an event is 1%
(p = 0.01), and the risk of the event is associated with two risk factors:
x1 and x2. The odds ratio per standard deviation increase in x1 is 1.8 (95%
CI: 1.1 to 2.8), and the odds ratio for x2 being present is 2.1 (1.8 - 3.1).
x1 is a continuous variable with normal distribution (mean = 1.0, SD=0.10).
x2 is a categorical variable (with two values 0 and 1), and the prevalence
of x2=1 is around 10%.
I have looked at the codes given in Design package, but I am not sure how to
simulate the prevalence. Any help is highly appreciated.
Regard,
Nguyen
