now using the new default random number generator in tests
updated tests to pass check with R 4.0.2; this includes re-generation of most reference objects, which were manually inspected and validated against old references
new function merge_projections permits to join
different sets of simulations, adapting the respective time windows
accordingly
new function merge_add_projections permits to add
simulated case incidence from different sets of simulations, adapting
the respective time windows accordingly; if objects contain different
numbers of simulations, the shortest ones are recycled as needed; also
implemented as the operator +
new function summary will summarise
projections objects by day, using a range of pre-defined
statistics (mean, sd, min, max, and user-defined quantiles)
bug fix for the use of time-varying R in
project
bug fix for as.data.frame(..., long = TRUE)
more consistent handling of inputs for the serial interval; if
provided as a vector, si now starts at a delay of 1 day,
rather than 0 and assuming the first entry is 0; for
distcrete inputs, the mass for si$d(0) is now
ignored, and the rest of the distribution is rescaled accorindly to
ensure the PMF sums to 1
(documentation) more realistic serial interval distribution used for the Ebola examples
(internal) the force of infection is now calculated by
the new internal function compute_force_infection
(testing) revised sets of tests relying less on comparison to references, but testing for meaningful output properties instead
(testing) 100% coverage
project() will can now take single dates or single
projections as inputs. (@acori, @zkamvar, #18).project can now use time-varying R by specifying
time_change, a vector of dates at which R changes, and
providing a vector or a list of values for
R instead of a vector, in which case it needs to have
length(time_change) + 1 components, each of which is a
vector of R values.project() where R was being resampled
recursively was fixed (#11, @jarvisc1; #12, @zkamvar)get_dates() now inherits the generic
get_dates() from incidenceThis is a big release! Plenty of new features have been added, including:
projections can now be subsetted like matrices using
x[i,j], or using the function subset
new function cumulate to compute cumulative
incidence for projections objects, akin to the similar
function in the incidence package
much improved graphics; plot now call upons
add_projections, which implements many options for plotting
projections, including quantiles lines, ribbon, and boxplots;
add_projections can also be used to add such plots to an
existing incidence plot
build_projections can be used to build a
projections object from an input matrix and optional
dates
project can now use a Negative Binomial model as an
alternative to the original Poisson model to account for over-dispersion
in new cases / super-spreading.Fixed the calls to sample, which has a rather irrational
behaviour when passing a first argument of length 1 (i.e. not
bootstrapping from the vector).
First release of the package!
project: a function generating projections from an
existing incidence object, a serial interval distribution, and
a set of plausible reproduction numbers (\(R\)); returns a projections
object.
plot/print: plotting and printing
methods for projections objects.
get_dates: accessors for projections
objects.
as.data.frame: conversion from
projections objects to data.frame.
