fit.chickenpox.wallinga: Fit the chickenpox data
In sbfnk/dynmod: Dynamic models
Description
Usage
Arguments
Value
Description
Fit a model with a free contact rate between <5 year olds to the
England & Wales chickenpox data, assuming everything is in
equilibrium every year (a method similar to Wallinga, Teunis and
Kretzschmar, 2006, "Using Data on Social Contacts to Estimate
Age-specific Transmission Parameters for Respiratory-spread
Infectious Agents", Am J Epidemiol, 164, 936-944. This estimates
q, the reporting rate, and the mixing between children every year.
Usage
1
fit.chickenpox.wallinga(years = NULL, contact.matrix = NULL)
Arguments
years
The years to fit (of not given, fit all years)
contact.matrix
The contact matrix to use (if not given,
sample one from UK Polymod)
Value
A list with the best fits (q, rep and child.mixing), the
used contact.matrix, and the return of fitting q and rep with any
messages and convergence information that may have been reported.
