Nice to have "an online mode" to allow simulations in a sequential fashion step by step

Thanks for creating such an amazing software! IIUC, currently sinot "defines all treatment plan then simulate all at once." This is great for simulation study, but also if we have "an online mode" to allow simulations step by step. If we have this, it will unlock further usecases of this sinot library, e.g. online RL simulation.

Someting like, class Patient will have a method step() to try simulation step by step:

simulation.step() # Increments timestamp

Or is this something we can easily implement without modifying sinot codebase itself?

Thank you for your message. The class Patient has the method patient.simulate_next(), which is parameterized with the given treatment. It updates patient.history, so that you can increment the patient for each day.
However, as the Trial class focuses on classic N-of-1 trials, you might want to create a new Class for adaptive designs.
You can check out the fork from XPerianer . There might be some functions already implemented.

Thank you, I'll check them out!
