het.population: Sample Population with Heterogeneous Contact Rates

In ICI3D/ici3d-pkg: Materials for the International Clinics on Infectious Disease Dynamics and Data (ICI3D) Workshops

Sample Population with Heterogeneous Contact Rates

Description

Create a sample of individuals with heterogeneous contact rates

Usage

het.population(n, beta.mean, beta.var, seed)

Arguments

n	Number of individuals in the population
beta.mean	Mean contact rate
beta.var	Variance of contact rate
seed	Seed for random number generation

Details

Per ?rgamma, the gamma distribution is parameterized by shape and scale parameters. These parameters are related to the mean by

E(X)=shape*scale

and the variance by

Var(X)=shape*scale^2

.

Value

A numeric vector of contact rates, sorted from highest to lowest

Examples

require(ICI3D)
egpop <- het.population(1000, 2, .5)
het.hist(egpop, 2)
