incidence_rate {epiCo} | R Documentation |
Extends an incidence class object with incidence rates estimations.
Description
Function that estimates incidence rates from a incidence class object and population projections.
Usage
incidence_rate(incidence_object, level, scale = 1e+05)
Arguments
incidence_object |
An incidence object. |
level |
Administration level at which incidence counts are grouped (0 = national, 1 = state/department, 2 = city/municipality). |
scale |
Scale to consider when calculating the incidence_rate. |
Value
A modified incidence object where counts are normalized with the population.
Examples
data_event <- epiCo::epi_data
incidence_historic <- incidence::incidence(data_event$fec_not,
groups = data_event$cod_mun_o,
interval = "1 year"
)
incidence_object <- subset(incidence_historic,
from = "2015-01-04",
to = "2018-12-27"
)
inc_rate <- incidence_rate(incidence_object, level = 2, scale = 100000)
