This performs similarly to Serfling models, except fit is done with an ARIMA approach.

flurima()

Arguments

data

A dataframe class object, must contain time variable, epidemic indicator, and measure of influenza morbidity

outc

an unquoted name of a column in data which corresponds to the outcome variable of interest

time

an unquoted name of a column in data object, must be a numeric/integer class variable in dataframe which corresponds to a unit of time, must be unique (i.e. non-repeating)

season

Either 'T', where the epidemic baseline model will be created assuming time variable is a date, and Oct-May is epidemic season, or the name of a column which is a logical vector flagging a given week as epidemic or not

order

A vector of length three, given ARIMA(p,d,q) specifications.

seasonal

A vector of length three, given ARIMA(p,d,q) specifications.

echo

A logical, if T will print variables used in model.

...

other options passed on to ARIMA model

Value

an object of class data.frame, fit, upper and lower confidence bounds
