draw_generation_interval: Generate generation intervals for potential secondary...

In bcgov/epi.branch.sim: Simulates an Epidemic Outbreak with a Branching Process

Description

Generation intervals for each case's potential secondary infections are drawn from distribution defined in sim_params$generation_int_params

Usage

draw_generation_interval(n, incubation_length, sim_params)

Arguments

n	Number of potential secondary infections for this case
incubation_length	Incubation period of this case (used in skew normal distribution only)
sim_params	sim_params object (a list) containing simulation parameters, where all of the information needed to describe the distribution is found within sim_params$generation_int_params. Current distributions possible are: skew_norm: Drawn from skew normal distribution with xi set to the case's incubation period, and attributes "omega" and "alpha" given in sim_params$generation_int_params. This is what Hellewell uses. gamma: Drawn from a gamma distribution with attributes "shape" and "rate" given in sim_params$generation_int_params.

Value

A vector of length n for generation intervals of the case's potential secondary infections
