spim_beta_mult_schools: Calculate multiplicative beta for schools

In mrc-ide/spimalot: Support for 'sircovid'

Calculate multiplicative beta for schools

Description

Calculate multiplicative beta scaling factor for schools. We assume here that schools has come from spim_simulate_control but we may add validation later.

Usage

spim_beta_mult_schools(dates, schedule, modifier, region)

Arguments

dates	A sircovid date, fractional dates (e.g. 100.25) are allowed.
schedule	A data.frame of school open/closed information. Required columns are region, date and schools; really this should have been sorted out by spim_simulate_control
modifier	The amount to decrease beta by when schools are closed for holidays etc. A value of 0.15 is a 15% reduction in contacts, or a multiplicative beta of 0.85
region	The region to subset from the schedule.

Value

A vector the same length as dates with the scaling factor.
