create_infection_summary: Create summary output from infection estimation objects

In EpiNow2: Estimate and Forecast Real-Time Infection Dynamics

Create summary output from infection estimation objects

Description

This function creates summary output from infection estimation objects (either estimate_infections or forecast_infections). It is used internally by summary.estimate_infections() and summary.forecast_infections() to provide a consistent summary interface.

Usage

create_infection_summary(
  object,
  type = c("snapshot", "parameters"),
  target_date = NULL,
  params = NULL,
  CrIs = c(0.2, 0.5, 0.9),
  ...
)

Arguments

object	An infection estimation object (either from estimate_infections() or forecast_infections()).
type	A character vector of data types to return. Defaults to "snapshot" but also supports "parameters". "snapshot" returns a summary at a given date (by default the latest date informed by data). "parameters" returns summarised parameter estimates that can be further filtered using params to show just the parameters of interest and date.
target_date	Date, defaults to maximum found in the data if not specified.
params	A character vector of parameters to filter for.
CrIs	Numeric vector of credible intervals to calculate. Defaults to c(0.2, 0.5, 0.9).
...	Additional arguments passed to report_summary().

Value

A ⁠<data.frame>⁠ of summary output, either a snapshot summary (via report_summary()) or parameter summaries (via calc_summary_measures()).
