Plot the epidemic process

Usage

plot_epidemic_process(x, plotly = FALSE, palette = .tbl_now_palette())

Arguments

x

A tbl_now() object.

plotly

If TRUE, return an interactive plotly widget instead of a static plot. Default FALSE.

palette

A named colour palette. Defaults to the package palette.

Value

A ggplot2 object (or a plotly widget when plotly = TRUE).

Details

Shows total cases by event date (when the cases occurred), facetted by stratum when present. The mirror image of plot_reporting_process() (which is by report date): a real epidemic is smooth, so a lone spike here would be a surge, not a reporting artefact.

plot_reporting_process(), diagnostic_plot().

Examples

data(denguedat)
dn <- tbl_now(denguedat, onset_week, report_week, verbose = FALSE)
plot_epidemic_process(dn)
