In c97sr/learnidd: A collection of functions useful for the study of infectious disease dynamics

fit the SEIR model to data

Description

fit_seir fits an SEIR model to incidence data

Usage

fit_seir(incidence_data, current_week, starting_week, R_0_min, R_0_max)

Arguments

incidence_data	data frame extracted by extract_incidence
current_week	numeric vector of length 1: week number of the current week
starting_week	numeric vector of length 1: guess for week number when the epidemic started. Use data from starting week to current week to predict
R_0_min	numeric vector of length 1: lower bound of R_0 values over which to search
R_0_max	numeric vector of length 1: upper bound of R_0 values over which to search

Value

the value of R_0 with the maximum likelihood
