Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Using data and specified serial interval, finds the effective reproductive for each region while allowing for interaction between regions. The default serial interval uses an estimate for the United States on the weekly time scale.

find_rts_strata(data, num_strata = 4, strata_mat = diag(4),
  si_shape = 1.47, si_rate = 0.04529, k = 100)

Arguments

data

Dataframe to be used for estimating reproductive numbers. Must contain 'cases' column and numerical 'region' column.

num_strata

Integer for the number of strata that the data is being split by. Default is 4.

strata_mat

Matrix representing interactions between strata.

si_shape

Shape parameter for serial interval.

si_rate

Rate parameter for serial interval.

k

Maximum length of serial interval.

Value

List of effective reproductive numbers for each stratum and corresponding week numbers. For analysis, these reproductive numbers must be seperated.
