reconstruct_nonparametric: Reconstruct a nonparametric delay distribution

In EpiNow2: Estimate and Forecast Real-Time Infection Dynamics

Reconstruct a nonparametric delay distribution

Description

Reconstruct a nonparametric delay from Stan data.

Usage

reconstruct_nonparametric(stan_data, np_id, np_posterior = NULL)

Arguments

stan_data	List of Stan data containing delay specification
np_id	Integer index into the nonparametric delay PMF arrays
np_posterior	Matrix of posterior draws for delay_np_est_raw (draws x parameters), or NULL

Details

For estimated delays, returns NonParametric(pmf = Dirichlet(...)), using either the prior alpha (no fit available) or a moment-matched Dirichlet whose mean equals the posterior mean of the simplex and whose concentration matches the average per-bin posterior variance. For fixed delays, returns the NonParametric PMF as supplied.

Value

A dist_spec object representing the nonparametric delay
