sample_model_parameters: Function to Sample Model Parameters

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

Description

The serial interval is estimated as 1.44 (95 this study. Samples were taken by assuming a normal distribution with a standard deviation estimated from the parameters confidence intervals. The above study includes data on the percentage of cases in each year since infection in the form of a figure. This appears to roughly match the original model estimate. As no other estimate is available the point estimate from the original model is used.

Usage

sample_model_parameters(incidence_rates = sutherland_incidence_rates,
  population_data = sutherland_data, samples = 100,
  as_sutherland = FALSE)

Arguments

incidence_rates	Incidence rates as formated by sutherland_incidence_rates
population_data	Population data as formated by sutherland_data
samples	Numeric, the number of samples to run. Defaults to 100
as_sutherland	Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE then the original estimates used by sutherland et al. are returned. Note these are point estimates.

Value

A tibble of parameter samples
