Aims to Fix #96
In {EpiNow2} version
1.7.1
the default GP prior is nowsd = 0.01
. The non-mechanistic infection model used in the estimate infections howto entry was built assuming a GP prior ofsd = 0.05
(version1.6.1
). Given that the new default GP prior is more appropriate for the renewal equation model (rt!=NULL
) than the non-mechanistic infection model (rt = NULL
), the non-mechanistic callings in the corresponding howto entry now specify explicitlysd = 0.05
for the GP prior. For further discussions on this regard, refer to previous and latest issues linked to: epiforecasts/EpiNow2#829The website will keep rendering appropriate infection estimates when upgrading EpiNow2 CRAN version
