In pspline.inference: Estimation of Characteristics of Seasonal and Sporadic Infectious Disease Outbreaks Using Generalized Additive Modeling with Penalized Basis Splines

Description

This is mainly used internally by pspline.estimate.scalars, but it's useful if you want to calculate summary statistics of simulation results other than the ones returned by pspline.estimate.scalars.

Usage

pspline.sample.scalars(model, predictors, calc.outcomes, samples = 100)

Arguments

model	model returned by gam or gamm
samples	number of simulations to run
time	time values at which the model will be evaluated during simulation
outcomes	scalar outcome generator function; see pspline.estimate.scalars for more info

Value

data frame with one row for each simulation; each row has pspline.sample column giving a unique ID for the simulation, and one column for each scalar outcome returned by outcomes
