In cancerpolicy/bcimodel: Model the impact of early detection and treatment interventions for breast cancer

Description

Initialize a FEMALE population with an age structure, dates of cancer incidence, and dates of all-cause mortality

Usage

initialize_pop(pop_size, nsim, agesource, minage, maxage, incsource,
  mortsource, pop_chars = list(male = data.frame(male = c(0), prop =
  c(1))))

Arguments

agesource	Country to use for age structure (see data(agestructure) )
minage	Lower age limit for population at sim start
maxage	Upper age limit for population at sim start
incsource	Country to use for incidence rates (see data(incratesf) )
mortsource	Country to use for life table (see data(allmortratesf) )
pop_chars	A list of data frames that specify additional features to simulate in the population. Defaults to giving the whole population male=0, i.e. all female sex.

Value

List of three matrices of dimenion pop_size by nsim specifying simulated characteristics for each individual in each simulation: age at entry, age at other-cause death, and age at clinical incidence of cancer (capped at 121, i.e. after death from other caues).

Examples

pop <- initialize_pop(pop_size=100000,
                     nsim=2, 
                     agesource='Standard', 
                     minage=0, maxage=100, 
                     incsource='Uganda', 
                     mortsource='Uganda')
