Description

The number of cases are back calculated using the incidence rate and the size of the population. Samples are then taken of notifications, assuming a poisson distribution. Incidence rates are then calculated based on these samples. Multiple samples of a matrix input may be taken with the output formated as a list.

Usage

sample_inc_rate(inc_rate, pop, inc_per = 1e+05, samples = 100)

Arguments

inc_rate	Incidence rates formated as sutherland_incidence_rates.
pop	Population estimates for each cohort as a vector.
inc_per	The scaling factor for the incidence rate, defaults to 100,000.
samples	Numeric, the number of samples to take. Defaults to 100.

Value

Incidence rate samples as a list, formated as a 3 by 3 matrix.

Examples

sample_inc_rate(Unvaccinated, sutherland_data$BCG.Unvaccinated[1:3], samples = 5)
