laevens: CSFV Experiment by Laevens et. al

In RLadyBug: Analysis of Infectious Diseases using Stochastic Epidemic Models

Description

In this experiment the spread of CSFV was investigated in a 1x3 layout with S(0)=(5,5,6) and E(0)=(0,1,0) slaughter pigs. Every second day all pigs still alive were investigated using a virus isolation test based on blood plasma.

Details

Together with an object laevens also an object laevens.opts is loaded which is an object of class LBInferenceMCMC-class suitable for MCMC inference

The data(laevensML) contains a version of the data, where a constant incubation time of c=6 is assumed. Here laevens.opts contains the necessary object for maximum likelihood inference.
