Generate Bootstrap Sample of Case Incidence — generate_case

Creates a bootstrap sample by resampling individual cases with replacement, then reconstructing daily incidence counts. This maintains the temporal distribution while introducing sampling variation for uncertainty estimation.

Usage

generate_case_bootstrap(incidence)

Arguments

incidence: numeric vector; daily case counts (non-negative integers)

Value

numeric vector; bootstrapped daily incidence of the same length as input. Total number of cases remains the same but their temporal distribution varies
