WhiteLabRt-package {WhiteLabRt} | R Documentation |
The 'WhiteLabRt' package.
Description
A collection of functions related to novel methods for estimating reproduction number, R(t), created by the lab of Professor Laura White at Boston University School of Public Health.
Currently implemented methods include (1) Temporal R(t) estimation: Two-step Bayesian back and nowcasting for linelist data with missing reporting delays, adapted in 'STAN' from Li et. al. 2021, and (2) Spatial R(t) estimation: Calculating time-varying reproduction number, R(t), assuming a flux of infectors between various adjacent states, in 'STAN' from Zhou et. al. 2021.
