genspmap: Generate map

In vincnardelli/epidsampler: Simulations for Sampling in Epidemics

Description

Generate an epidmap object with population distributed into spatial units laid on a n-by-n regular squared lattice grid.

Usage

genspmap(n = 5, P = 1000, p = 1, rho = 0, verbose = T)

Arguments

n	A positive integer. Grid dimension
P	Total number of individuals
p	A positive integer. People density for each tile - min/max - uniform distribution
rho	Spatial autocorrelation parameter
verbose	A logical

Details

Map generation

For the map generation we considered a population distributed into spatial units laid on a n-by-n regular squared lattice grid. Each square of the grid contains a number of individuals randomly drawn from a uniform distribution ranging between the two values contained in the vector p. This geographical representation is very general in that the map thus generated can represent, e. g., a city divided into blocks or a region divided into smaller spatial union or any other meaningful geographical partition.

Value

An epidmap object

Examples

## Not run: 
set.seed(12345)
map <- genspmap(n=5, p=c(10, 50))
print(map)

## End(Not run)
