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 $$z_\tau(\alpha, a) = e^{-r \alpha} h_\tau(a-\alpha)$$

Usage

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)
