Seed_finder: Find a seed for the desired outbreak size
In BenjamenSimon/EpidemicR: Stochastic modelling and inference for epidemics.

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Runs a series of independent simulations for a series of seeds, and outputs a seed(s) that give a desired final size, as well as a histogram of all final sizes.

1	Seed_finder(model, N, ..., betas, ds, size, error, seeds)

`model`	Takes values "Unif", "Clust", "Edge", "Latt", "Lines", or "Trials", corresponding to the appropriate distance matrix function.
`N`	The population size.
`...`	The parameters of the specifief distance matrix function (see example).
`betas`	A vector of infection rates, used for the Beta_mat_form function.
`ds`	A vector of distances at which the infection rate changes, used for the Beta_mat_form function.
`size`	The final size of the epidemic that is desired (total number infected).
`error`	The allowed error on the final size above and below.
`seeds`	The number of seeds desired to be tested. Always iterates from 1:seeds.

A histogram of the final size of all tested simulations, and a table of seeds and final sizes that fit the requirements.
