In covid-19-Re/estimateR: Reproductive number estimation from delayed observations of infections

Utility function that generates delay data, assuming a different delay between event and observation for each individual day. It then generates the delay matrix and computes the RMSE between the parameters of the gamma distributions passed as arguments and the ones recovered from the delay matrix. The shapes and scales of the gamma distributions are specified as parameters, and the number of timesteps is assumed to be equal to the length of these vectors.

Description

This funciotn is useful for testing purposes.

Usage

.delay_distribution_matrix_rmse_compute(
  original_distribution_shapes,
  original_distribution_scales,
  nr_distribution_samples = 500
)

.delay_distribution_matrix_rmse_compute(
  original_distribution_shapes,
  original_distribution_scales,
  nr_distribution_samples = 500
)

Arguments

original_distribution_shapes	vector. Specifies the shapes for the gamma distributions.
original_distribution_scales	vector. Specifies the scales for the gamma distributions.
nr_distribution_samples	integer. How many cases to be sampled for each timestep.

Value

A list with the computed RMSE. It has two elements: $shape_rmse and $scale_rmse

A list with the computed RMSE. It has two elements: $shape_rmse and $scale_rmse
