updateIndiv function

Update individual COD probabilities from InSilicoVA Model Fits

This function updates individual probabilities for each death and provide posterior credible intervals for each estimates.

updateIndiv(object, CI = 0.95, java_option = "-Xmx1g", ...)

Arguments

• object: Fitted "insilico" object.
• CI: Credible interval for posterior estimates.
• java_option: Option to initialize java JVM. Default to ``-Xmx1g'', which sets the maximum heap size to be 1GB.
• ...: Not used.

Returns

object Updated "insilico" object.

Examples

## Not run:

data(RandomVA1)
fit1a<- insilico(RandomVA1, subpop = NULL,  
                Nsim = 1000, burnin = 500, thin = 10 , seed = 1,
                auto.length = FALSE)
summary(fit1a, id = "d199")

# The following script updates credible interval for individual 
fit1b <- updateIndiv(fit1a, CI = 0.95)
summary(fit1b, id = "d199")
## End(Not run)
