epiworld-gentime: Generation time

In epiworldR: Fast Agent-Based Epi Models

Generation time

Description

Extraction and plotting of generation time by virus over time.

Usage

get_generation_time(x)

## S3 method for class 'epiworld_generation_time'
plot(
  x,
  type = "b",
  xlab = "Day (step)",
  ylab = "Avg. Generation Time",
  main = "Generation Time",
  plot = TRUE,
  ...
)

plot_generation_time(x, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class epiworld_sir, epiworld_seir, etc. (any model), or an object of class epiworld_generation_time.
ylab, xlab, main, type	Further parameters passed to graphics::plot()
plot	Logical scalar. If TRUE (default), the function will plot the desired statistic.
...	In the case of plot methods, further arguments passed to graphics::plot.

Value

• The function get_generation_time returns a data.frame with the following columns: "agent", "virus_id", "virus", "date", and "gentime".

• The function plot_generation_time is a wrapper for plot and get_generation_time.

)

set.seed(937)
run(seirconn, 50)

# Get and plot generation time
gent <- plot_generation_time(seirconn)
