simulate_incidence_stats_fast: Function to calculate theoretical value for x.loi and I

In prevtoinc: Prevalence to Incidence Calculations for Point-Prevalence Studies in a Nosocomial Setting

Description

Function to calculate theoretical value for x.loi and I

Usage

simulate_incidence_stats_fast(P, dist.X.loi, dist.X.los = NA)

Arguments

P	prevalence of HAIs
dist.X.loi	probability mass function of distribution of lengths of infection
dist.X.los	vector of probabilities for values 1:length(dist.X.los) of X.los

Value

list with following components

• x.loi - average length of infection

• x.los - average length of stay

• I - theoretical incidence rate per patient day

• I.pp - theoretical incidence proportion per admission

Examples

example.dist <- create_dist_vec(function(x) dpois(x-1, 7), 70)
data.fast.inc.theo <- simulate_incidence_stats_fast(P=0.05, dist.X.loi = example.dist)
data.fast.inc.theo$x.loi
data.fast.inc.theo$I
