simulate_incidence_stats: Calculate theoretical values like x.los, x.loi and other characteristics of the patient population

Description

Calculate theoretical values like x.los, x.loi and other characteristics of the patient population

Usage

simulate_incidence_stats(hospital, steps = 365 * 10000,
  n.sim.pat = 5000)

Arguments

hospital

type of hospital as a list-object (see vignette for details)

steps

number of steps to evolve process

n.sim.pat

size of simulations to estimate individual characteristics of patients

Value

list with following components

• x.los - average length of stay x_los

• x.loi - average length of infection x_loi

• x.los.noso.only - average length of stay for patients with HAI

• x.los.wo.noso - average length of stay for patients discounting time with HAI

• I - theoretical incidence rate per patient day

• I.pp - list of theoretical incidences for patient types

• patient.stats - list with `x.los` and `x.loi` for different patient types

• patient.risk.times - list of patient days at risk for different patient types

Examples

                               function(x) dpois(x-1, lambda = 12), 70),
I.p = 0.008,
dist.X.loi = create_dist_vec(function(x) dpois(x-1, lambda = 10), 70))

pat.2 <- list(dist.X.los = 
                create_dist_vec(function(x) dpois(x-1, lambda = 10), 70),
              I.p = 0.02,
              dist.X.loi =
