Compute infection density in a cohort of humans, $z_\tau(\alpha, a |h)$

Given a function describing the FoI ($h_\tau(a)$), and a parameter describing the clearance rate of infections ($r$), the density of parasite clones of age $\alpha$ distributed among a cohort of humans of age $a$ is $$z_\tau(\alpha, a) = e^{-r \alpha} h_\tau(a-\alpha)$$

zda(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)
