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

performs linear regression for a given country and year

Description

linear_regression takes the incidence data (already subsetted for country and year) and performs linear regression. We also specify the "current week" and how many previous weeks' worth of data to use.

Usage

linear_regression(
  incidence_data,
  current_week = 47,
  n_weeks_prior = 4,
  log_transform = TRUE
)

Arguments

incidence_data	data frame extracted by extract_incidence
current_week	numeric vector of length 1: week number of the current week
n_weeks_prior	numeric vector of length 1: number of weeks' previous data to use
log_transform	logical vector of length 1: if TRUE, perform linear regression on log transformed data, otherwise perform linear regression on original data

Value

linear regression object (see documentation for lm)
