Make an xds Object to Study 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"
)

either a TimeSpent matrix or a string to call a function that sets it up

MYZopts

list to configure the MYZ Component module
