full.series.graph: Creates the historical series graph of the datasets

In mem: The Moving Epidemic Method

Creates the historical series graph of the datasets

Description

Function full.series.graph creates a graph with the whole dataset.

Usage

full.series.graph(
  i.data,
  i.range.x = NA,
  i.range.y = NA,
  i.output = ".",
  i.graph.title = "",
  i.graph.subtitle = "",
  i.graph.file = T,
  i.graph.file.name = "",
  i.plot.timing = F,
  i.plot.intensity = F,
  i.alternative.thresholds = NA,
  i.color.pattern = c("#C0C0C0", "#606060", "#000000", "#808080", "#000000", "#001933",
    "#00C000", "#800080", "#FFB401", "#8c6bb1", "#88419d", "#810f7c", "#4d004b"),
  i.mem.info = T,
  ...
)

Arguments

i.data	Historical data series.
i.range.x	Range x (surveillance weeks) of graph.
i.range.y	Range y of graph.
i.output	Directory where graph is saved.
i.graph.title	Title of the graph.
i.graph.subtitle	Subtitle of the graph.
i.graph.file	Graph to a file.
i.graph.file.name	Name of the graph.
i.plot.timing	Plot the timing of epidemics.
i.plot.intensity	Plot the intensity levels.
i.alternative.thresholds	Use alternative thresholds, instead of the ones modelled by the input data (epidemic + 3 intensity thresholds)
i.color.pattern	colors to use in the graph.
i.mem.info	include information about the package in the graph.
...	other parameters passed to memmodel.

Details

Input data must be a data.frame with each column a surveillance season and each row a week.

The resulting graph is a time series-like plot showing all the columns in the original dataset one after another.

Color codes:

1. Axis.

2. Tickmarks.

3. Axis labels.

4. Series line.

5. Series dots (default).

6. Title and subtitle.

7. Series dots (pre-epidemic).

8. Series dots (epidemic).

9. Series dots (post-epidemic).

10. Epidemic threshold.

11. Medium threshold.

12. High threshold.

13. Very high threshold.

Value

full.series.graph writes a tiff graph of the full series of the dataset.
