etd_infected {anovir}

Expected time of death: infected hosts

Description

Time when infected hosts are expected to have died due to their cumulative exposure to background mortality and mortality due to infection.

Usage

etd_infected(a1, b1, a2, b2, d1 = "", d2 = "", tmax = 100)

Arguments

a1, b1

location & scale parameters for background mortality

a2, b2

location & scale parameters for mortality due to infection

d1, d2

character: name of probability distributions describing background mortality and mortality due to infection, respectively

tmax

numeric. Maximum value of t for which expected time of death is searched; defaults to 100. Minimum time is zero (0)

Details

It is the time t when, H1[t] + H2[t] = 1, and cumulative survival is, S1[t].S2[t] = exp(-1) = 0.367

Value

numeric
