Format

A data frame.

Details

Each row represents a case with the columns indicating the following:

  • onset_week: the week of symptom onset.

  • report_week: the week of case report.

  • gender: the gender of the infected individual (randomly assigned with 0.5:0.5 probability of "Male"/"Female").

Note

Data originally from the NobBS package. While onset_week and report_week correspond to actual observed data the gender was constructed exclusively for the examples of NobBS. Its a synthetic (simulated) variable and does not correspond to any reality.
