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

Generate a Log Normal Distribution Definition Based on Parameter Estimates

Description

Generates a distribution definition when only parameter estimates are available for log normal distributed parameters. See rlnorm() for distribution information.

Usage

lognorm_dist_def(mean, mean_sd, sd, sd_sd, max_value, samples, to_log = FALSE)

Arguments

mean	Numeric, log mean parameter of the gamma distribution.
mean_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the log mean parameter.
sd	Numeric, log sd parameter of the gamma distribution.
sd_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the log sd parameter.
max_value	Numeric, the maximum value to allow. Defaults to 120. Samples outside of this range are resampled.
samples	Numeric, number of sample distributions to generate.
to_log	Logical, should parameters be logged before use.

Value

A ⁠<data.table>⁠ defining the distribution as used by dist_skel()
