🎯 Functions to procedurally generate synthetic data in R for kidney transplant simulations. You can see simK in action, here.
simK allows to generate data with clinical and demographic information for a pool of simulated cadaveric donors and simulated wait listed candidates for kidney transplantation.
Data generated with simK are particularly useful on KARS.

Main functions
This package has 3 main functions, with them we can generate simulated data for a pool of donors, a set of kidney transplant candidates and the respective HLA-antibodies for those patients HLA sensitized.
A detailed description of these functions usage, is available from here.
⚠️ For PT origin, all these functions rely on HLA typing at intermediate resolution as described at Lima et al, 2013.
⚠️ For NMDP populations, HLA typing were described by Gragert et al, 2013
