Usage

## S3 method for class 'DALY':
summary(object, relative = FALSE, outcomes = FALSE, digits = 0, \dots)

Arguments

object

Object of class 'DALY'

relative

Show results per 1000 population? See details below

outcomes

Show results per outcome? See details below

digits

Number of decimals to be printed; defaults to 0

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

summary.DALY returns a list containg the following elements:
totalMatrix containing mean, median and prob credible interval of total DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths
outcomesNamed list, containing matrices of DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths for each health outcome
pctVector of contribution of YLDs and YLLs to overall DALYs

Details

The standard summary method gives the absolute number of DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths. By specifying relative = TRUE, the number of DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths per 1,000 population will be shown. The standard summary method gives the number of DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths aggregated over all health outcomes. By specifying outcomes = TRUE, the number of DALYs, YLDs, YLLs, Cases and Deaths for each outcome will be shown as well.

Examples

Run this code

## load the Neurocysticercosis example
setDALYexample(1)

## initiate the Monte Carlo simulation process
## and store results in object 'x'
x <- getDALY()

## view the DALY calculation results
summary(x)                   # absolute, total
summary(x, relative = TRUE)  # relative (ie, per 1000 population)
summary(x, outcomes = TRUE)  # outcome-wise
