In REffectivePred: Pandemic Prediction Model in an SIRS Framework

Serial interval

Description

Helper function for computing weights w based on the serial interval.

Usage

serial.helper(window_size, serial_mean = log(4), serial_var = log(1.380715))

Arguments

window_size	The maximum value for the serial interval.
serial_mean	Mean of the serial interval on the log scale. See Details.
serial_var	Variance of the serial interval on the log scale. See Details.

Details

Computed based on a log normal density function, as in Nishiura et al. (2020). Parameters serial_mean and serial_var are arguments meanlog and sdlog of function dlnorm. Default values are taken from the same reference.

Value

A vector that stores the serial interval in reverse order. This is meant to be multiplied to infections in chronological order.
