class_burden: Classify population adjusted burden

In carlbfrederick/ohiCovidMetrics: Used to calculate sub-state metrics relating to the COVID-19 pandemic

Description

Currently, the cutoff values are hard coded and adopted straight from the ones used in the CDC State Indicators report for the first 3 thresholds and from HGHI for the 4th threshold and set arbitrarily for the highest threshold:

• "Low" is a burden less than or equal to 10 per 100,000

• "Moderate" is a burden greater than 10 and less than or equal to 50 per 100,000

• "Moderately high" is a burden greater than 50 and less than or equal to 100 per 100,000

• "High" is a burden greater than 100 and less than or equal to 350 per 100,000

• "Very high" is a burden greater than 350 per 100,000

• "Critically high" is a burden greater than 1,000 per 100,000

Usage

class_burden(burden)

Arguments

burden

numeric vector as calculated by score_burden

Value

an ordered factor

Examples
