departure_msm: Depature Module

In statnet/EpiModelHIV: Network-Based Epidemic Modeling of HIV Transmission among MSM and Heterosexual Populations

Description

Module function for simulting both general and disease-related departures, including deaths, among population members.

Usage

departure_msm(dat, at)

deaths_het(dat, at)

Arguments

dat	Master data list object of class dat containing networks, individual-level attributes, and summary statistics.
at	Current time step.

Details

Deaths are divided into two categories: general deaths, for which demographic data on age-specific mortality rates applies; and disease-related diseases, for which the rate of death is a function of progression to end-stage AIDS.

Value

This function returns the updated dat object accounting for deaths. The deaths are deactivated from the main and casual networks, as those are in networkDynamic class objects; dead nodes are not deleted from the instant network until the simnet_msm module for bookkeeping purposes.
