get_incubation_day_distribution {smidm}

Vector of day-specific probabilities of disease outbreak

Description

Creates a vector containing the probabilities of the disease outbreak for the days 1 to maxi after the infection.

Usage

get_incubation_day_distribution(max_days, meanlog = 1.69, sdlog = 0.55)

Arguments

max_days

Number, the maximum length of the incubation time, defined as number.

meanlog

Number, the parameter of mean from the log-normal distribution.

sdlog

Number, the parameter of sd from the log-normal distribution.

Details

meanlog and sdlog are the log-normal distribution parameters derived from the incubation period characteristics described in Xin et al. (2021).

Value

Vector of day-specific probabilities of disease outbreak.
