Implements Bed_Net_Effect_Sizes for the Le Menach ITN model of vector control

Usage

compute_bednet_effect_sizes_lemenach(
  ix,
  phi,
  ff,
  qq,
  gg,
  tau0_frac = c(0.68/3, 2.32/3),
  rr = 0.56,
  ss = 0.03
)

Arguments

ix

an index over nPatches

phi

ITN coverage

ff

baseline blood feeding rate

qq

baseline human fraction

gg

baseline mosquito mortality rate

tau0_frac

a numeric vector giving the proportion of a feeding cycle spent host seeking/bloodfeeding vs. resting/oviposition

rr

probability of mosquito being repelled upon contact with ITN

ss

probability of mosquito successfully feeding upon contact with ITN

Value

a ramp.xds model object
