Estimate a Delay Distribution
Description
![[Deprecated]](../help/figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg)
Estimate a log normal delay distribution from a vector of integer delays.
This function is deprecated. Please use estimate_dist() instead,
which provides better handling of censoring and truncation.
Usage
estimate_delay(delays, ...)
Arguments
delays
Integer vector of delays
...
Arguments to pass to internal methods.
Value
A <dist_spec> summarising the bootstrapped distribution
See Also
estimate_dist() for the recommended replacement
Examples
delays <- rlnorm(500, log(5), 1)
# Old way (deprecated):
# estimate_delay(delays, samples = 1000, bootstraps = 10)
# New way: see ?estimate_dist and
# vignette("estimate_dist_workflow") for date-based usage
