ml_ve2: Estimate VE using a maximum likelihood (ML) method with MCMC

In fluvee/wave: Waning Vaccine Effectiveness

Estimate VE using a maximum likelihood (ML) method with MCMC

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_ve2(data, params, my_prior = NULL, file_name = "test", par_tab, mcmc_pars)

Arguments

data	data set
params	input parameters
my_prior	prior function for MCMC
file_name	character string of output file name
par_tab	data frame of parameter values
mcmc_pars	vector of MCMC options

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.
