Retrieve pathogen-specific data
Arguments
- pathogen
name of pathogen. Must be one of the priority pathogens exactly as specified in the package. You can get a list of the priority pathogens currently included in the package by calling
- mark_multiple
logical. If TRUE, multiple studies from the same author in the same year will be marked with a suffix to distinguish them.
Value
a list of length 2. The first element is a data.frame called "params" with articles information (authors, publication year) combined with the parameters. The second element is a data.frame called "models" with all transmission models extracted for this pathogen.
Details
The data extracted in the systematic review has been stored in three files - one each for articles, parameters, and transmission models. Data in the three files can be linked using article identifier. This function will read in the pathogen-specific articles and parameters files and join them into a data.frame. The resulting data set can be used to create a forest plot.
