Alternative method for computing the distribution function for the age of the youngest infection (AoY) — pAoY_long • ramp.falciparum

Loading [MathJax]/jax/output/HTML-CSS/jax.js

This method computes the distribution function for the AoY by summing over AoI distributions

pAoY_long(alpha, a, FoIpar, tau = 0, hhat = 1, r = 1/200)

Arguments

alpha: the age of an infection, $\alpha$
a: host age
FoIpar: a compound list to compute $h_\tau(a)$
tau: the host cohort's birthday
hhat: scaling parameter for FoI
r: the clearance rate for a simple infection

Value

a numeric vector of length(alpha)
