plot_relative_risk

Plots the relative risk of Malaria cases by the maximum
temperature and cumulative rainfall at country, Region and District level

internal

Tools for producing climate-health indicators and supporting
official statistics from health and climate data. Implements analytical
workflows for temperature-related mortality, wildfire smoke exposure,
air pollution, suicides related to extreme heat, malaria, and
diarrhoeal disease outcomes, with utilities for descriptive statistics, model
validation, attributable fraction and attributable number estimation,
relative risk estimation, minimum mortality temperature estimation,
and plotting for reporting. These six indicators are endorsed by
the United Nations Statistical Commission for inclusion in the
Global Set of Environment and Climate Change Statistics.
Implemented methods include distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM),
quasi-Poisson time-series regression, case-crossover analysis,
Bayesian spatio-temporal models using the Integrated Nested Laplace
Approximation ('INLA'), and multivariate meta-analysis for
sub-national estimates. The package is based on methods developed
in the Standards for Official Statistics on Climate-Health
Interactions (SOSCHI) project

plot_relative_risk function

<dl><dt>data</dt>
<dd>Data list from combine_health_climate_data() function.</dd>
<dt>model</dt>
<dd>The fitted model from run_inla_models() function.</dd>
<dt>param_term</dt>
<dd>A character vector or list containing parameter terms such
as <code>tmax</code> (temperature exposure) and <code>rainfall</code> (rainfall exposure).
Default to <code>tmax</code>.</dd>
<dt>level</dt>
<dd>A character vector specifying the geographical disaggregation.
Can take one of the following values: <code>country</code>, <code>region</code>, or <code>district</code>.
Default to <code>country</code>.</dd>
<dt>case_type</dt>
<dd>Character. The type of disease that the case column refers
to. Must be one of <code>"diarrhea"</code> or <code>"malaria"</code>.</dd>
<dt>filter_year</dt>
<dd>Integer. The year to filter to data to. This gives the
possibility to user to have the plot for a specific year. When Defaults to NULL,
it provides the plot by grouping all the years in the dataset.</dd>
