This function subsets the epidemiological parameter library to return only the chosen epidemiological distribution. The results are returned as a data frame containing the disease, epidemiological distribution, probability distribution, author of the study, and the year of publication.
Arguments
- multi_epiparameter
Either an
<epiparameter>
object or a list of<epiparameter>
objects.- disease
A
character
string with name of the infectious disease.- pathogen
A
character
string with the name of the causative agent of disease, orNA
if not known.- epi_dist
A
character
string with the name of the epidemiological distribution type.
Examples
epiparameter_list <- epiparameter_db(disease = "COVID-19")
#> Returning 27 results that match the criteria (22 are parameterised).
#> Use subset to filter by entry variables or single_epiparameter to return a single entry.
#> To retrieve the citation for each use the 'get_citation' function
