In ben18785/incidenceinflation: Estimate R0 Given Case Reporting Delays

Sample reporting parameters using a single Metropolis step

Description

Sample reporting parameters using a single Metropolis step

Usage

metropolis_step(
  snapshot_with_true_cases_df,
  current_reporting_parameters,
  logp_current,
  prior_parameters,
  metropolis_parameters
)

Arguments

snapshot_with_true_cases_df	a tibble with four columns: time_onset, time_reported, cases_reported, cases_true
current_reporting_parameters	a tibble with column names: "reporting_piece_index", "mean", "sd"
logp_current	the value fo the log-probability at current parameter values
prior_parameters	named list with elements 'mean_mu', 'mean_sigma', 'sd_mu', 'sd_sigma' representing the gamma prior parameters for the mean and sd parameters of the reporting parameters (itself described by a gamma distribution)
metropolis_parameters	named list of 'mean_step', 'sd_step' containing step sizes for Metropolis step

Value

a named list with two elements: 'parameter', a parameter value (which may be a non-scalar); and 'logp', the log-probability corresponding to the parameter value returned
