Estimate relative R0 from mean temperature — temperature

This function takes an input series of mean temperature values in °C and returns estimated relative R0 values for a specified vector and pathogen.

Usage

temperature_r0(data, vector_pathogen)

Arguments

data: A numeric vector of mean temperature values in °C
vector_pathogen: Character vector specifying the vector and pathogen of interest This can be one of the following: AeaeDENV; AeaeZIKV; AealDENV; AetaRVFV; AetaSINV; AetrEEEV; AngaPfal; CxanMVEx; CxanRRVx; CxpiSINV; CxpiWNVxl; CxtaWEEV; CxtaWNVx; CxunWNVx

Value

Numeric vector of relative R0 values corresponding to input temperature values
