bhai {BHAI}

Main function of the package to estimation of the burden of healthcare-associated infections

Description

Estimation of the burden of healthcare-associated infections

Usage

bhai(pps, nsim = 1000, pop.sampling = TRUE,
  sample_distr = "rbetamix", estimate_loi_fun = bootstrap_mean_gren,
  stratified_sampling = FALSE, summarize_strata = TRUE,
  use_prior = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'PPS'
bhai(pps, nsim = 1000, pop.sampling = TRUE,
  sample_distr = "rbetamix", estimate_loi_fun = bootstrap_mean_gren,
  stratified_sampling = FALSE, summarize_strata = TRUE,
  use_prior = TRUE)

Arguments

pps

The PPS object containing the data.

nsim

Number of Monte Carlo simulations, default: 1000.

pop.sampling

Specifying whether parameters of the disease outcome trees should be sampled on population level, default: TRUE.

sample_distr

Distribution used for prevalence sampling, default: "rbetamix".

estimate_loi_fun

Function used for estimation of the length of infection, default: bootstrap_mean_gren (recommended!).

stratified_sampling

Specifying whether stratified sampling should be done.

summarize_strata

Specifying whether stratum-specific summary statistics should be computed.

use_prior

Specifying whether Prior distributions should be used for computations.

Value

A PPS class object.
