Define how NCA parameters are summarized.

Define how NCA parameters are summarized.

PKNCA.set.summary(
  name,
  description,
  point,
  spread,
  rounding = list(signif = 3),
  reset = FALSE
)

Arguments

name

The parameter name or a vector of parameter names. It must have already been defined (see add.interval.col()).

description

A single-line description of the summary

point

The function to calculate the point estimate for the summary. The function will be called as point(x) and must return a scalar value (typically a number, NA, or a string).

spread

Optional. The function to calculate the spread (or variability). The function will be called as spread(x) and must return a scalar or two-long vector (typically a number, NA, or a string).

rounding

Instructions for how to round the value of point and spread. It may either be a list or a function. If it is a list, then it must have a single entry with a name of either "signif" or "round" and a value of the digits to round. If a function, it is expected to return a scalar number or character string with the correct results for an input of either a scalar or a two-long vector.

reset

Reset all the summary instructions

Value

All current summary settings (invisibly)
