Add Variable by Convolution

Add a variable that will be available for comparisons with observed data that is created by processing an existing variable in the simulation history by convolving it with a gamma density.

add_conv(
  model,
  var_pattern,
  c_prop = "c_prop",
  c_delay_cv = "c_delay_cv",
  c_delay_mean = "c_delay_mean"
)

Arguments

model

flexmodel object

var_pattern

regular expression used to identify variables for convolutions. See avail_for_conv for a function that will return the names of all variables that are available for convolution.

c_prop

name of the parameter in the params vector associated with the proportion of individuals in the original state variable that are represented in the convolved variable

c_delay_cv

name of the parameter in the params vector associated with the coefficient of variation of the gamma density

c_delay_mean

name of the parameter in the params vector associated with the mean of the gamma density
