computeVEp

Description

Compute VEp (Vaccine efficacy: prevention of symptomatic illness in infected indivduals) for a given VEsp (computed VEp + VEs). The presumed relationship is: (1 - VEsp) = (1 - VEp) * (1 - VEs).

Usage

computeVEp(VEsp, VEsRatio, VEpRatio, VEs)

Arguments

VEsp

Vaccine efficacy for combined protection of and prevention of symptomatic illness in vaccinated individuals. A single fraction or vector of fractions by population group.

VEsRatio

Ratio of VEs / VEp. VEsRatio = -1 is equivilant to VEsRatio = infinity (VEp = 0). One of VEsRatio, VEpRatio, and VEs must be specified.

VEpRatio

of VEp / VEs. VEpRatio = -1 is equivilant to VEpRatio = infinity (VEs = 0). One of VEsRatio, VEpRatio, and VEs must be specified.

VEs

Vaccine efficacy: protection for vaccinated susceptible individuals; single fraction or vector of fractions by population group; One of VEsRatio, VEpRatio, and VEs must be specified.

Value

A numeric or vector of numerics of same length as VEsp.
