create_patch: Create a New Region

In predsci/DICE: DICE: Dynamics of Interacting Community Epidemics

Description

Using the populations specified in ‘RegState' create a new region. If the user lists multiple entries to 'RegState’, this function will aggregate those regions into a new super-region.

Usage

create_patch(mydata = NULL, RegState = NULL, fit_level = 3,
  mod_level = 2)

Arguments

mydata	A mydata structure resulting from get.cdc.data() that contains all the regions listed in ‘RegState’ in the $fit sub structure.
RegState	A vector of strings specifying either the name or abbreviation of US regions or states.
fit_level	An integer specifying the spatial-level of the elements of RegState. All elements of RegState must be from the same level.
mod_level	An integer that defines the spatial-level of the created region.

Value

An updated version of ‘mydata’ with only the RegState elements in $fit and the aggregated super-region in $model

Examples

require(DICE)
mydata = get.DICE.data()
mydata2 = create_patch(mydata=mydata,RegState=c('R1','R2','R3'),fit_level=mydata$fit$level,mod_level=2)
