{imuGAP}, which stands for “Immunity: Geographic &
Age-based Projection”, provides a fitting and imputation / prediction
tool for a process-based model of vaccination uptake.
remotes::install_github("ACCIDDA/imuGAP")Requires R >= 4.1.0 and a C++ toolchain (for Stan model compilation).
The {imuGAP} sampler fits two model effects: a lifetime
tendency towards vaccination and a time varying force of vaccination. To
fit those effects, the model evaluates observations which may combine
many populations. The model distinguishes populations by place, birth
timing, and age.
The model organizes places into a hierarchy, for example a state which contains counties which in turn contain cities. The effects in a particular place combine the impact of all enclosing locations.
