Get input hospital admissions data
Usage
get_input_hosp_data(
forecast_date_i,
location_i,
hosp_data_dir,
calibration_time,
for_eval = FALSE,
load_from_epidatr = FALSE,
population_data_path = NA
)Arguments
- forecast_date_i
The forecast date for this iteration
- location_i
The location (state) for this iteration
- hosp_data_dir
A string indicating the path to the directory containing time stamped hospital admissions datasets
- calibration_time
A numeric indicating the duration of model calibration (based on the last hospital admissions data point)
- for_eval
A boolean indicating whether the hospital admissions data is for evaluation. Default is FALSE which means it will be used to fit a single model, TRUE means we will combine with multiple locations and a longer time span than we would fit to.
- load_from_epidatr
boolean indicating whether or not the hospital admissions datasets should be loaded directly from epidatr.
default = FALSEbecause we are assuming that we have already created a folder with time stamped datasets- population_data_path
path to a table of state populations, default is
