\item{col_date}{column name of the date, will be used to calculate years if this column doesn't consist of years already, defaults to the first column of with a date class}
\item{model}{the statistical model of choice. This could be a generalised linear regression model with binomial distribution (i.e. using `glm(..., family = binomial)``, assuming that a period of zero resistance was followed by a period of increasing resistance leading slowly to more and more resistance. See \emph{Details} for all valid options.}
\item{I_as_S}{a \link{logical} to indicate whether values \code{"I"} should be treated as \code{"S"} (will otherwise be treated as \code{"R"}). The default, \code{TRUE}, follows the redefinition by EUCAST about the interpretation of I (increased exposure) in 2019, see section \emph{Interpretation of S, I and R} below.}
\item{preserve_measurements}{a \link{logical} to indicate whether predictions of years that are actually available in the data should be overwritten by the original data. The standard errors of those years will be \code{NA}.}
\item{info}{a \link{logical} to indicate whether textual analysis should be printed with the name and \code{\link[=summary]{summary()}} of the statistical model.}
\item \code{value}, the same as \code{estimated} when \code{preserve_measurements = FALSE}, and a combination of \code{observed} and \code{estimated} otherwise
\item \code{se_min}, the lower bound of the standard error with a minimum of \code{0} (so the standard error will never go below 0\%)
\item \code{se_max} the upper bound of the standard error with a maximum of \code{1} (so the standard error will never go above 100\%)
\item \code{observations}, the total number of available observations in that year, i.e. \eqn{S + I + R}
\item \code{observed}, the original observed resistant percentages
\item \code{estimated}, the estimated resistant percentages, calculated by the model
Create a prediction model to predict antimicrobial resistance for the next years on statistical solid ground. Standard errors (SE) will be returned as columns \code{se_min} and \code{se_max}. See \emph{Examples} for a real live example.
The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{stable}. In a stable function, major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments will be avoided.
If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. For example, a argument will be deprecated and first continue to work, but will emit an message informing you of the change. Next, typically after at least one newly released version on CRAN, the message will be transformed to an error.
In 2019, the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) has decided to change the definitions of susceptibility testing categories R and S/I as shown below (\url{https://www.eucast.org/newsiandr/}).
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Resistant} when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic failure even when there is increased exposure. Exposure is a function of how the mode of administration, dose, dosing interval, infusion time, as well as distribution and excretion of the antimicrobial agent will influence the infecting organism at the site of infection.
\item \strong{S = Susceptible}\cr
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Susceptible, standard dosing regimen}, when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success using a standard dosing regimen of the agent.
\item \strong{I = Increased exposure, but still susceptible}\cr
A microorganism is categorised as \emph{Susceptible, Increased exposure} when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success because exposure to the agent is increased by adjusting the dosing regimen or by its concentration at the site of infection.
This AMR package honours this (new) insight. Use \code{\link[=susceptibility]{susceptibility()}} (equal to \code{\link[=proportion_SI]{proportion_SI()}}) to determine antimicrobial susceptibility and \code{\link[=count_susceptible]{count_susceptible()}} (equal to \code{\link[=count_SI]{count_SI()}}) to count susceptible isolates.
