ml_ve: Estimate VE using a maximum likelihood (ML) method

In fluvee/wave: Waning Vaccine Effectiveness

Estimate VE using a maximum likelihood (ML) method

Description

This method is similar to that of Ainslie et al. 2017 (SIM). The ML method is based on calculating the contribution to the likelihood function of each study participant. See XX for more details.

Usage

ml_ve(
  dat,
  n_days,
  n_periods,
  n_days_period,
  latent_period = 1,
  infectious_period = 4
)

Arguments

dat	data set
n_days	number of days in the study
n_periods	number of periods in the study
n_days_period	number of days per period
latent_period	length of latent period
infectious_period	length of infectious period

Value

list with a tibble of VE estimates for each period (the estimate for each period is the average VE over the days within each period) and the maximu likelihood estimates of the parameters.
