TB_decrease_as_matrix: Annual Decreae in TB from Single Estimate for Each Group

In seabbs/AssessBCGPolicyChange: Assess the Evidence Used to Motivate the 2005 Change in BCG Vaccination Policy

Description

From a vetor of assumed annual decreases in TB, this function constructs a matrix with yearly estimates of TB decrease

Usage

TB_decrease_as_matrix(TB_decrease, TB_cohorts = c("15-19 years",
  "20-24 years", "25-29 years"), data_start = 1969,
  projected_cohort = 9, cohort_length = 5)

Arguments

TB_decrease	A named vector of percentage decreases (i.e 1%) in TB incidence. Names should refer to age group.
TB_cohorts	A character vector indicating the names of the cohorts modelled. Defaults to 15-19 years, 20-24 years, and 25-29 years.
data_start	Numeric, the year the first data point originates, defaults to 1969 as in Sutherland et al.
projected_cohort	Numeric, the number of cohort for which to simulate, defaults to 5. Combines with cohort_length to give the length of time to simulate.
cohort_length	Numeric, the lengh of time spent in each cohort, defaults to 5 years as in Sutherland et al.

Value

A matrix of annual TB incidence decreases as a percentage (0.01) for a given number of years and age groups

Examples

TB_decrease <- c(10, 8, 11)


TB_decrease_as_matrix(TB_decrease)
