Calculate type of assignment to intervention in a study

Usage

f.assignmentType(df = NULL)

Arguments

df

data frame such as from dbGetFieldsIntoDf. If `NULL`, prints fields needed in `df` for calculating this trial concept, which can be used with dbGetFieldsIntoDf.

Value

data frame with columns `_id` and `.assignmentType`, which is a factor with levels `R` (randomised assignment) and `NR` (all other types of assignment).
