rtSetMortRatesByAge: setting age specific mortality rates for Tsetse

In AndySouth/rtsetse: simulating tsetse fly populations

Description

rtSetMortRatesByAge creates a vector of mortality rates by Age. Needs to be called separately for males & females.
I have set defaults in between those for M&F from Hat-trick.

Usage

rtSetMortRatesByAge(iMaxAge, pMortAge1 = 0.14, iMortMinAgeStart = 10,
  iMortMinAgeStop = 50, fMortMinProp = 0.2, fMortOldProp = 0.3)

Arguments

iMaxAge	maximum age
pMortAge1	mortality rate at day 1 (the maximum)
iMortMinAgeStart	Age at which min death rates start.
iMortMinAgeStop	Age at which min death rates stop.
fMortMinProp	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the minimum death rate.
fMortOldProp	What proportion of the maximum death rate on day 0 is the death rate after iDeathMinAgeStop.

Value

a vector of mortality probabilities

Examples

vpMorts <- rtSetMortRatesByAge(iMaxAge = 100)
rtPlotMortRatesByAge(vpMorts,"males")
