plotfit function

S3 method for objects of class R0.R or R0.sR

This method ensures compliance with CRAN checks etc. It is used to properly call plotfit.R0.R() and plotfit.R0.sR() and build corresponding plots.

plotfit(x, xscale = "w", SB.dist = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

• x: An output of estimate.R() (class R0.sR) or est.R0.xx() (class R0.R).
• xscale: Scale to be adjusted on x-axis. Can be d (day), w (week (default)), f (fornight), m (month).
• SB.dist: Boolean. Should the R distirbution throughout the epidemic be plotted for the SB method (defaults to TRUE) ?
• ...: Parameters passed to inner functions.

Returns

This function does not return any data.

Details

For internal use.

This method is designed to either call plotfit.R0.R() or plotfit.R0.sR(), and complies with S3 requirements at the time of writing.

It allows plotting the goodness-of-fit of an estimated model to the original epidemic curve provided the user.

Depending on the method of estimation, the graphical output will vary :

• EG, ML and TD methods will show the original epidemic curve, along with the best-fitting prediction model,
• AR will only show the epidemic curve, since no actual model is computed,
• SB will display 9 density curves for the R distribution throughout the epidemic.
