ef_wc

Description

Epidemiological characteristics with cases

Usage

ef_wc(x, dc_threshold, c_weeks, ef)

Arguments

x

where denotes the numerical vector of the number of cases per unit time.

dc_threshold

where is the threshold for the number of cases.

c_weeks

is the consecutive week.

ef

is the epifeature. The options are dc3, dc6, dcmax, dcmed, & dci.

Details

The function and arguments were based on the work of Almeida et al. (2022) for a more detailed review. Almeida IF, Lana RM, Codeco CT. 2022. How heterogeneous is the dengue transmission profile in Brazil? A study in six Brazilian states. PLO Neglected Tropical Diseases.

Value

This function returns a vector numeric.
