Description
Prevalence to Incidence Calculations for Point-Prevalence Studies in a Nosocomial Setting.
Description
Functions to simulate point prevalence studies (PPSs) of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and to convert prevalence to incidence in steady state setups. Companion package to the preprint Willrich et al., From prevalence to incidence - a new approach in the hospital setting; <doi:10.1101/554725> , where methods are explained in detail.
README.md
The \strong{prevtoinc} package implements functionality to simulate point-prevalence studies (PPSs) for healtcare-associated infections (HAIs) and estimate incidence based on the PPS data. It is a companion package to the preprint Willrich et al., From prevalence to incidence - a new approach in the hospital setting; doi:10.1101/554725 , where methods are explained in detail.
For an introduction to the use of the package have a look at the accompanying vignette 'prevtoinc_vignette'.
