Build a Model of Human / Host Epidemiology

A modified version of xds_setup that streamlines setup for models with a trival MYZ Component.

The xds object defines frame = class(frame) = 'human' to dispatch xde_derivatives.human or dts_update.human and associated functions.

The MYZ Component module is set to trivial. The funcion F_fqZ.trivial is called to compute passes the density of infectious adult mosquitoes, and $f$ and $q$ can still be configured. In this case, the daily EIR is computed using the blood feeding interface, including Exposure, in the same way as a model with a non-trivial MYZ Component module.

To study human cohort dynamics by passing a function that computes the daily EIR, consider using xds_setup_cohort.

Usage

xds_setup_human(
  Xname = "SIS",
  Xopts = list(),
  xds = "ode",
  nPatches = 1,
  residence = 1,
  HPop = 1000,
  Xday = 1,
  searchB = 1,
  TimeSpent = list(),
  MYZopts = list(),
  BFopts = list(),
  model_name = "unnamed"
)

Arguments

Xname: a character string defining a X Component module
Xopts: a named list to configure the X Component module
xds: is ode or dde or dts for ordinary OR delay differential OR difference equations
nPatches: the number of patches
residence: a vector that describes the patch where each human stratum lives
HPop: the number of humans in each patch
Xday: is the run-time time step for X Component (in days): integer or 1/integer
searchB: a vector of search weights for blood feeding
TimeSpent: either a TimeSpent matrix or a string to call a function that sets it up
MYZopts: list to configure the MYZ Component module
BFopts: list to configure the blood feeding model
model_name: a name for the model
