reweight_age_pyr: Re-weight age pyramid

In EpiModel/ARTnet: Epidemic and Network Model Parameterization with the ARTnet Dataset

Re-weight age pyramid

Description

This function re-weights a given age pyramid (i.e., a vector with one element per year in an age range that specifies what proportion of the population should be that age) so that the desired fraction of the population falls below a specified age boundary.

Usage

reweight_age_pyr(age.pyramid, young.prop, age.break)

Arguments

age.pyramid	A vector of proportions.
young.prop	The weight that should be applied to the portion of age.pyramid that is below age.break
age.break	The index at which the upper group should begin.

Examples

unif.age.pyr <- rep(1/100, 100)
reweighted.age.pyr <- reweight_age_pyr(unif.age.pyr, 0.995, 65)
