create_rt_data: Create Time-varying Reproduction Number Data

Description

Takes the output from rt_opts() and converts it into a list understood by stan.

Usage

create_rt_data(rt = rt_opts(), breakpoints = NULL, delay = 0, horizon = 0)

Value

A list of settings defining the time-varying reproduction number

Arguments

rt

A list of options as generated by rt_opts() defining Rt estimation. Defaults to rt_opts(). To generate new infections using the non-mechanistic model instead of the renewal equation model, use rt = NULL. The non-mechanistic model internally uses the setting rt = rt_opts(use_rt = FALSE, future = "project", gp_on = "R0").

breakpoints

An integer vector (binary) indicating the location of breakpoints.

delay

Numeric mean delay

horizon

Numeric, forecast horizon.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# default Rt data
create_rt_data()

# settings when no Rt is desired
create_rt_data(rt = NULL)

# using breakpoints
create_rt_data(rt_opts(use_breakpoints = TRUE), breakpoints = rep(1, 10))

# using random walk
create_rt_data(rt_opts(rw = 7), breakpoints = rep(1, 10))
