create_start_level_data: Generate starting antibody levels

In seroanalytics/serosolver: Inference Framework for Serological Data

Generate starting antibody levels

Description

Generates either random or data-driven starting antibody levels for each measured biomarker group/id combination per individual. This is mostly used elsewhere in the serosolver model

Usage

create_start_level_data(
  antibody_data,
  start_level_summary = "min",
  randomize = FALSE
)

Arguments

antibody_data	the antibody data, see example_antibody_data
start_level_summary	string telling the function how to use the 'antibody_data' object to create starting values. One of: min, max, mean, median, full_random.
randomize	if TRUE and data is discretized, then sets the starting level to a random value between floor(x) and floor(x)+1

Value

a list with two objects: 1) a tibble giving the starting antibody level for each individual, biomarker group and biomarker_id combinations; 2) a list of indices (starting at 0) of length matching 'nrow(antibody_data)' giving the index of the antibody starting level to use for each measurement
