Parasite Dispersal through one Parasite Generation (Humans)

Source: R/metrics.R

Computes a n by n matrix describing parasite dispersal from infecteds (columns) to infectees (rows). $$\mathcal{R} = b \beta \cdot {\cal V} \cdot \mbox{diag}\left(W \right) \cdot \beta^T \cdot \mbox{diag}\left(DH\right)$$

metric_calR(b, beta, calV, W, D, H)

Arguments

b

transmission efficiency from mosquitoes to humans

beta

the biting distribution matrix

calV

parasite dispersal by mosquitoes matrix (see ramp.xde::metric_calV)

W

ambient human population at each patch

D

human transmitting capacity

H

human population size of each strata

Value

a numeric matrix
