create_lambda: Create a series of mean outcome values
In eesim: Simulate and Evaluate Time Series for Environmental Epidemiology

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Creates a vector of expected daily outcome count by relating exposure to baseline outcome values with the function:

log(λ) = log(B) + log(RR)*X

where λ is the expected outcome count on day t, B is the expected base outcome count on day t (incorporating long-term and seasonal trends, but not the influence of the exposure), RR is the relative risk of the outcome for a one-unit increase in exposure, and X is the simulated exposure on day t. The user may input a custom function to relate exposure, relative risk, and baseline.

1	create_lambda(baseline, exposure, rr, cust_lambda_func = NULL, ...)

`baseline`	A non-negative numeric vector of baseline outcome values, typically the output of `create_baseline`.
`exposure`	A numeric vector of exposure values, typically the output of `sim_exposure`.
`rr`	A non-negative numeric value specifying the relative risk (i.e., the relative risk per unit increase in the exposure).
`cust_lambda_func`	An R object name specifying a user-made custom function for relating baseline, relative risk, and exposure
`...`	Optional arguments for a custom lambda function

A numeric vector of mean outcome values for each day in the simulation.
