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

Internal function for generating a dist_spec given parameters and a distribution.

Description

This will convert all parameters to natural parameters before generating a dist_spec. If they have uncertainty this will be done using sampling.

Usage

new_dist_spec(params, distribution, max = Inf, cdf_cutoff = 0)

Arguments

params	Parameters of the distribution (including max)
distribution	Character; the distribution to use.
max	Numeric, maximum value of the distribution. The distribution will be truncated at this value. Default: Inf, i.e. no maximum.
cdf_cutoff	Numeric; the desired CDF cutoff. Any part of the cumulative distribution function beyond 1 minus the value of this argument is removed. Default: 0, i.e. use the full distribution.

Value

A dist_spec of the given specification.

Examples

new_dist_spec(
  params = list(mean = 2, sd = 1),
  distribution = "normal"
)
