c.dist_spec function

Combines multiple delay distributions for further processing

This combines the parameters so that they can be fed as multiple delay distributions to epinow() or estimate_infections().

Note that distributions that already are combinations of other distributions cannot be combined with other combinations of distributions.

## S3 method for class 'dist_spec'
c(...)

Arguments

• ...: The delay distributions to combine

Returns

Combined delay distributions (with class <dist_spec>)

Examples

# A fixed lognormal distribution with mean 5 and sd 1.
dist1 <- LogNormal(
  meanlog = 1.6, sdlog = 1, max = 20
)
dist1 + dist1

# An uncertain gamma distribution with shape and rate normally distributed
# as Normal(3, 0.5) and Normal(2, 0.5) respectively
dist2 <- Gamma(
  shape = Normal(3, 0.5),
  rate = Normal(2, 0.5),
  max = 20
)
c(dist1, dist2)
