hasPeriodic function

Does object include a periodic B-spline term?

This method checks whether a 'FluMoDL' object includes a periodic B-spline term in its parametrization or not. By default FluMoDL objects are created with a periodic term, unless argument periodic in fitFluMoDL is set to FALSE

hasPeriodic(x)

Arguments

• x: An object of class FluMoDL

Returns

TRUE if the model includes a periodic term, FALSE if it does not.

Examples

data(greece) # Use example surveillance data from Greece
m <- with(greece, fitFluMoDL(deaths = daily$deaths,
    temp = daily$temp, dates = daily$date,
    proxyH1 = weekly$ILI * weekly$ppH1,
    proxyH3 = weekly$ILI * weekly$ppH3,
    proxyB = weekly$ILI * weekly$ppB,
    yearweek = weekly$yearweek))
hasPeriodic(m)   # Returns TRUE
