consolodateAdditiveOutcomes: consolodateAdditiveOutcomes Function to add burden of disease...

In christiaanpauw/AQoffset: Makes calculation needed for air quality offsetting

Description

consolodateAdditiveOutcomes Function to add burden of disease outcomes in rasterised format based on the layer name. The expectation is that a raster with names like "mortality.all.cause.PM10" and "mortality.all.cause.SO2" are given where mortality.all.cause.PM10 is all-cause mortality due to PM10 exposure and mortality.all.cause.SO2 is all-cause mortality due to SO2 exposure. If the relative risks per pollutant used to construct the input raster represented the unique contribution of that pollutant, the outcomes can be added. If the exposure reponse functions where based on co-exposure to more than one pollutant - one cannot do this or you will have to allocate weights. Allowance must also possibly be made for synergic effects

Usage

consolodateAdditiveOutcomes(r, polnames = c("PM10", "SO2"))

Arguments

r	A Raster with burden of disease outcomes
polnames	A character vector with names for pollutants as they are found in the layernames of r

Value

A raster with one layer for each outcome
