Generic function for getting posterior draws of a specified latent sequence

Draws samples from one of a number of unobserved time series using the posterior parameter draws from the passed object. Can retrieve posterior estimate of the reproduction number over time (unadjusted or adjusted), the daily new infections, or the total "infectiousness" of the population over time.

posterior_latent(object, ...)

# S3 method for epimodel
posterior_latent(
  object,
  newdata = NULL,
  series = c("Rt", "Rt_unadj", "infections"),
  draws = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	A fitted model object returned by epim. See epimodel-objects.
...	Not used.
newdata	If provided, the original data used in object is overridden. Useful both for counterfactual and prediction analysis
series	Type of latent series to return.
draws	Number of posterior draws to use. Defaults to the number of parameter draws in the fitted model.
seed	An optional seed.

Value

A named list with draws of the series, and vectors giving the corresponding dates and population.
