Creating an object of class disProg
(DEPRECATED)
Description
Creating objects of the legacy class disProg
is deprecated;
use sts
instead.
An object of class disProg
takes a vector with the weeknumber
(week) and matrices with the observed number of counts (observed) and the
respective state chains (state), where each column represents an individual
time series. The matrices neighbourhood and populationFrac provide
information about neighbouring units and population proportions.
Usage
create.disProg(week, observed, state, start=c(2001,1), freq=52,
neighbourhood=NULL, populationFrac=NULL, epochAsDate=FALSE)
Arguments
week |
index in the matrix of observations, typically weeks |
observed |
matrix with parallel time series of counts where rows are
time points and columns are the individual time series for unit/area
|
state |
matrix with corresponding states |
start |
vector of length two denoting the year and the sample number (week, month, etc.) of the first observation |
freq |
sampling frequency per year, i.e. 52 for weekly data, 12 for monthly data, 13 if 52 weeks are aggregated into 4 week blocks. |
neighbourhood |
neighbourhood matrix |
populationFrac |
matrix with corresponding population proportions |
epochAsDate |
interpret the integers in |
Value
