In cturbelin/ifnBase: InfluenzaNet Data Analysis Base

Describe the stratification to use for incidence computation (parameter design)

Description

Create a structure usable by incidence computation functions. The returned structure embed all data & metadata about stratification Only handle strata on age and geo level for instance By convention age group column will be names "age.cat"

Usage

design_incidence(
  age.categories,
  year.pop,
  geo,
  geo_column = NULL,
  geo_area = NULL,
  use.gender = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

age.categories	list of breaks
year.pop	year of the population to fetch
geo	geographic level id (see geography & geo.levels in platform config.). could be character or structure return by geo_level function
geo_column	name of the geographic column (value return by strata.call), geo_level's column name by default
geo_area	id of geographic area to keep at the geographic level
use.gender	use gender as strata
...	other parameters to include in the design
