Parasite dispersal by humans — metric

Compute the p by p matrix $\mathcal{D}$ whose columns describe how potentially infectious person time from persons in that patch are dispersed across other patches. $\mathcal{D} = \mbox{diag}\left(W \right) \cdot \beta^T \cdot \mbox{diag}\left(bDH\right) \cdot \beta$

metric_calD(W, beta, b, D, H)

Arguments

W: ambient human population at each patch
beta: the biting distribution matrix
b: transmission efficiency from mosquitoes to humans
D: human transmitting capacity
H: human population size of each strata

Value

a numeric matrix
