control_incidence_rate: Control function for incidence rate

Description

This is an auxiliary function for controlling arguments for the incidence rate, used internally to specify details in s_incidence_rate().

Usage

control_incidence_rate(
  conf_level = 0.95,
  conf_type = c("normal", "normal_log", "exact", "byar"),
  input_time_unit = c("year", "day", "week", "month"),
  num_pt_year = 100
)

Value

A list of components with the same names as the arguments.

Arguments

conf_level

(proportion)
confidence level of the interval.

conf_type

(string)
normal (default), normal_log, exact, or byar for confidence interval type.

input_time_unit

(string)
day, week, month, or year (default) indicating time unit for data input.
