A helper function that takes simulation results and produces ggplot plots

Description

This function generates plots to be displayed in the Shiny UI. This is a helper function. This function processes results returned from the simulation, supplied as a list.

Usage

generate_ggplot(res)

Arguments

res

A list structure containing all simulation results that are to be plotted. The length of the main list indicates the number of separate plots to make. Each list entry is itself a list, and corresponds to one plot and needs to contain the following information/elements:
1. A data frame list element called "dat" or "ts". If the data frame is "ts" it is assumed to be a time series and by default a line plot will be produced and labeled Time/Numbers. For plotting, the data needs to be in a format with one column called xvals, one column yvals, one column called varnames that contains names for different variables. Varnames needs to be a factor variable or will be converted to one. If a column 'varnames' exist, it is assumed the data is in the right format. Otherwise it will be transformed. An optional column called IDvar can be provided for further grouping (i.e. multiple lines for stochastic simulations). If plottype is 'mixedplot' an additional column called 'style' indicating line or point plot for each variable is needed.
2. Meta-data for the plot, provided in the following variables:
optional: plottype - One of "Lineplot" (default if nothing is provided),"Scatterplot","Boxplot", "Mixedplot".
optional: xlab, ylab - Strings to label axes.
optional: xscale, yscale - Scaling of axes, valid ggplot2 expression, e.g. "identity" or "log10".
optional: xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax - Manual min and max for axes.
optional: makelegend - TRUE/FALSE, add legend to plot. Assume true if not provided.
optional: legendtitle - Legend title, if NULL/not supplied, default is used

optional: title - A title for each plot.
optional: for multiple plots, specify res[[1]]$ncols to define number of columns

Details

This function can be called to produce plots, i.e. those displayed for each app. The input needed by this function is produced by either calling the run_model function (as done when going through the UI) or manually transforming the output from a simulate_ function into the correct list structure as explained here.

Details

This function is called by the Shiny app to produce the Shiny input UI elements. It produces UI by 3 different ways. 1. If use_mbmodel is TRUE, an mbmodel list structure, which needs to be provided, is used 2. If use_mbmodel is FALSE and use_doc is TRUE, the documentation header of the function is used. For that approach, model_file needs to contain the name/path to the R script for the function The doc needs to have a specific format for this. 3. If both use_mbmodel and use_doc are FALSE, the function formals are parsed and used as UI. For that approach, model_function needs to specify the name of the model model_function is assumed to be the name of a function. The formals of the function will be parsed to create UI elements. Non-numeric arguments of functions are removed and need to be included in the otherinputs argument.

Details

##this code illustrates how to do analyze a simple model. A simple 2 compartment ODE model (the simple bacteria model introduced in the app of that name) is simulated for different parameter values. This function runs the simple bacterial infection model for a range of parameters. The user can specify which parameter is sampled, and the simulation returns for each parameter sample the peak and final value for B and I. Also returned is the varied parameter and an indicator if steady state was reached.

Value

The function returns the output as a list, list element 'dat' contains the data frame with results of interest. The first column is called xvals and contains the values of the parameter that has been varied as specified by 'samplepar'. The remaining columns contain peak and steady state values of bacteria and immune response, Bpeak, Ipeak, Bsteady and Isteady. A final boolean variable 'steady' is returned for each simulation. It is TRUE if the simulation reached steady state, otherwise FALSE.

Notes

The parameter dt only determines for which times the solution is returned, it is not the internal time step. The latter is set automatically by the ODE solver.

Warning

This function does not perform any error checking. So if you try to do something nonsensical (e.g. specify negative parameter values or fractions > 1), the code will likely abort with an error message.

Details

A simple compartmental ODE model mimicking acute viral infection is fitted to data. Data can either be real or created by running the model with known parameters and using the simulated data to determine if the model parameters can be identified. The fitting is done using solvers/optimizers from the nloptr package (which is a wrapper for the nlopt library). The package provides access to a large number of solvers. Here, we only implement 3 solvers, namely 1 = NLOPT_LN_COBYLA, 2 = NLOPT_LN_NELDERMEAD, 3 = NLOPT_LN_SBPLX For details on what those optimizers are and how they work, see the nlopt/nloptr documentation.

Value

The function returns a list containing as elements the best fit time series data frame, the best fit parameters, the data and the final SSR

Warning

This function does not perform any error checking. So if you try to do something nonsensical (e.g. specify negative parameter or starting values, the code will likely abort with an error message.

Details

##this code illustrates how to do analyze a simple model. A simple 3 compartment ODE model (the basic virus model introduced in the app of that name) is simulated for different parameter values. This function runs the model for a range of values for any one parameter, while holding all other paramter values fixed. The user can specify which parameter is sampled, and the simulation returns for each parameter sample the peak and final value for U, I and V. Also returned is the varied parameter and an indicator if steady state was reached.

Value

The function returns the output as a list, list element 'dat' contains the data frame with results of interest. The first column is called xvals and contains the values of the parameter that has been varied as specified by 'samplepar'. The remaining columns contain peak and steady state values of bacteria and immune response, Upeak, Ipeak, Vpeak, Usteady, Isteady and Vsteady. A final boolean variable 'steady' is returned for each simulation. It is TRUE if the simulation reached steady state, otherwise FALSE.

Notes

The parameter dt only determines for which times the solution is returned, it is not the internal time step. The latter is set automatically by the ODE solver.

Warning

This function does not perform any error checking. So if you try to do something nonsensical (e.g. specify negative parameter values or fractions > 1), the code will likely abort with an error message.

Details

A simple 2 compartment ODE model (the simple bacteria model introduced in the app of that name) is simulated for different parameter values. The user provides ranges for the initial conditions and parameter values and the number of samples. The function does Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) of the parameters and runs the basic bacteria ODE model for each sample. Distribution for all parameters is assumed to be uniform between the min and max values. The only exception is the bacteria growth parameter, which is assumed to be gamma distributed with the specified mean and variance. This code is part of the DSAIRM R package. For additional model details, see the corresponding app in the DSAIRM package.

Value

The function returns the output as a list. The list element 'dat' contains a data frame. The simulation returns for each parameter sample the peak and final value for B and I. Also returned are all parameter values as individual columns and an indicator stating if steady state was reached. A final variable 'steady' is returned for each simulation. It is TRUE if the simulation did reach steady state, otherwise FALSE.

Warning

This function does not perform any error checking. So if you try to do something nonsensical (e.g. specify negative parameter values or fractions > 1), the code will likely abort with an error message.
