Description

Constructs tables of non-media specific exposure factors for each relevant combination of age, gender, and season. The input is from the Exp_actors file (specified on the Run file) after being read through the read.exp.factors function.

Usage

1
gen.factor.tables(ef = exp.factors)

Arguments

ef

A data set created internally using the run function and the read.exp.factors function to import the user specified Exp_factors input file. The data set contains the distributional parameters for the exposure factors. All of these variables may have age or gender-dependent distributions, although in the absence of data, many are assigned a single distribution from which all persons are sampled.

Value

exp.gen Output consists of non-media specific exposure factors as a data table. Depending on the user input, these generated exposure factors may be gender and/or season specific. Each gender-season combination is assigned a row number pointing to the appropriate distribution on the output dataset from the read.exp.factors function. Thus, exp.gen consists of 8 rows per variable (2 genders x 4 seasons), regardless of the number of different distributions used for that variable. In addition, if the function runs successfully, the following message is printed: "General Factor Tables completed"
