Site acts as a translational layer between a site file and malariasimulation: 🌍 ➡️ 📉
The site file is the file storing all of the context specific information for a site, such as historical intervention coverage, seasonality, vectors etc. To simulate a given site, we must convert this information into an input parameter list for malaria simulation. That is what site is here to do!
If we have a correctly configured site file example_site, then all we need to do is create the parameter list and pass that to malariasimulation to run:
site <- subset_site(example_site, example_site$eir[1,])
site_par <- site_parameters(
interventions = site$interventions,
demography = site$demography,
vectors = site$vectors$vector_species,
seasonality = site$seasonality$seasonality_parameters,
eir = site$eir$eir,
overrides = list(
human_population = 1000
)
)
site_sim <- malariasimulation::run_simulation(
timesteps = site_par$timesteps,
parameters = site_par
)Installation
