system_estimate_parameters function

Control Estimation Process

Manages the flow of parameter estimation using data specified with system_define_cohort.

system_estimate_parameters(
  cfg,
  flowctl = "plot guess",
  analysis_name = "my_analysis",
  archive_results = TRUE
)

Arguments

• cfg: ubiquity system object
• flowctl: string to control what the flow of the function
• analysis_name: string containing the name of the analysis
• archive_results: boolean variable to control whether results will be archived

Returns

parameter estimates

Details

The flowctl argument can have the following values

• "plot guess" return the initial guess
• "estimate" perform estimation
• "previous estimate as guess" load previous estimate for analysis_name and use that as the initial guess
• "plot previous estimate" return the previous estimate for analysis_name
