control the distribution around the. times from infection to isolation for initial cases? #3

Open njtierney opened 3 years ago

Currently it is fixed at:

# times from infection to isolation for the initial cases in each chain
  inf_isol <- abs(rnorm(n_chains, 14, 5))

Should we vary these values, 14 and 5, @goldingn and @freyashearer?

These are initial values in an MCMC sampler that converges very quickly. So probably not much point changing them, but we should probably discard some burn in
