get_seeding_time: Estimate seeding time from delays and generation time

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

Estimate seeding time from delays and generation time

Description

The seeding time is set to the mean of the specified delays, constrained to be at least the maximum generation time

Usage

get_seeding_time(delays, generation_time, rt = rt_opts())

Arguments

delays	A call to delay_opts() defining delay distributions and options. See the documentation of delay_opts() and the examples below for details.
generation_time	A call to gt_opts() (or its alias generation_time_opts()) defining the generation time distribution used. For backwards compatibility a list of summary parameters can also be passed.
rt	A list of options as generated by rt_opts() defining Rt estimation. Defaults to rt_opts(). To generate new infections using the non-mechanistic model instead of the renewal equation model, use rt = NULL. The non-mechanistic model internally uses the setting rt = rt_opts(use_rt = FALSE, future = "project", gp_on = "R0").

Value

An integer seeding time
