coarse2estim Transforms outputs of
coarseDataTools::dic.fit.mcmc to right format for input into
estimate_R
coarse2estim(x = NULL, dist = x@dist, samples = x@samples, thin = 10)An object generated by function
coarseDataTools::dic.fit.mcmc, containing posterior estimates of the
serial interval distribution.
The parametric distribution used when estimating the serial
interval.
#' Should be one of "G" (Gamma), "W" (Weibull), "L" (Lognormal), "off1G"
(Gamma shifted by 1), "off1W" (Weibull shifted by 1), or "off1L" (Lognormal
shifted by 1). If not present, computed automatically from x.
A dataframe containing the posterior samples of serial
interval parameters corresponding to the parametric choice specified in
dist. If not present, computed automatically from x.
A positive integer corresponding to thinning parameter; of the
posterior sample of serial interval distributions in x, only 1 in thin
will be kept, the rest will be discarded.
A list with two elements:
si_sample: a matrix where each column gives one distribution of the serial interval to be explored, obtained from x by thinning the MCMC chain.
si_parametric_distr: the parametric distribution used when estimating the serial interval stored in x.
