getpolicy: Extract The Optimal Static Vaccination Policy

In amei: Adaptive Management of Epidemiological Interventions

Description

Extracts the optimal static vaccination policy from an "optvac"-class object

Usage

getpolicy(obj, which = c("best", "worst"))

Arguments

obj	and "optvac"-class object
which	optionally, by supplying which = "worst" the worst static vaccination policy can be extracted

Details

This function is designed to work with the output of the optvac function, and to provide inputs to the MCepi function. It searches the cost grid defined by vacgrid for the lowest (or highest) cost, and returns this information

Value

The output is a data.frame with scalar entries

row	the row of vacgrid$stops from the "optvac"-class object corresponding to the lowest (or highest) cost
col	the row of vacgrid$fracs from the "optvac"-class object corresponding to the lowest (or highest) cost
frac	the actual optimal fraction to vaccinate from the vacgrid table
stop	the actual optimal (stopping) threshold from the vacgrid table
cost	the cost associated with the optimal static vaccination strategy
