create_rt_data: Create Time-varying Reproduction Number Data

In EpiNow2: Estimate Real-Time Case Counts and Time-Varying Epidemiological Parameters

Create Time-varying Reproduction Number Data

Description

Takes the output from rt_opts() and converts it into a list understood by stan.

Usage

create_rt_data(rt = rt_opts(), breakpoints = NULL, delay = 0, horizon = 0)

Arguments

rt	A list of options as generated by rt_opts() defining Rt estimation. Defaults to rt_opts(). Set to NULL to switch to using back calculation rather than generating infections using Rt.
breakpoints	An integer vector (binary) indicating the location of breakpoints.
delay	Numeric mean delay
horizon	Numeric, forecast horizon.

Value

A list of settings defining the time-varying reproduction number

# settings when no Rt is desired
create_rt_data(rt = NULL)

# using breakpoints
create_rt_data(rt_opts(use_breakpoints = TRUE), breakpoints = rep(1, 10))
