diet.diary.pools: diet.diary.pools

In HumanExposure/SHEDSDevel: The SHEDS-HT model for estimating human exposure to chemicals.

Description

Assigns activity diaries from the Diet_diaries input on the Run file (read through the read.run.file function) to pools based on age and gender.

Usage

diet.diary.pools(diaries, specs)

Arguments

specs	Output of the read.run.file function, which can be modified by the update.specs function before input into diet.diary.pools.
diet.diaries	A data set created internally in SHEDS.HT through the read.diet.diaries function. The data are daily diaries of dietary consumption by food group. Each line represents one person-day, with demographic variables followed by amounts (in grams/day) for a list of food types indicated by a short abbreviation on the header line.

Details

The diet.diary.pools function assigns the dietary diaries to pools. A given diary may belong to many pools, since every year of age has its own pool. Large pools may contain a list of several hundred diary numbers. The code contains four loops and on each step performs a sub-setting of the list of diary numbers.

Value

dpool A vector of lists. The length of dpool is the product of the gender and age inputs specified in the Run file. Each element is a list of acceptable diet diary numbers for each year of age and each gender combination. In addition, if the function runs successfully, the following message will be printed: "Dietary Diary Pooling completed"

Note

The input to diet.diary.pools, diet.diaries, is created by reading in the Diet_diaries input file (specified on the Run file) with the read.diet.diaries function within the run function.
