Estimate the number of bed nets required to match usage target

Usage

commodity_nets(
  usage,
  use_rate,
  distribution_timesteps,
  crop_timesteps,
  half_life,
  par,
  ...
)

Arguments

usage

Desired target usages (%) to model. Numeric scalar or vector.

use_rate

Usage rates. Numeric scalar or vector.

distribution_timesteps

Distribution timesteps (days). Numeric scalar or vector. By default, we can assume that net distributions happen on the first day of each year. For example c(1, 366)

crop_timesteps

Crop estimate timesteps (days). Numeric scalar or vector. If assuming distributions occur on the first day of each year, a reasonable assumption would be that the crop (and therefore corresponding usage) estimates were taken at the mid-point of each year. For example c(1, 366) + 183.

half_life

Country-specific net half-life in days. Numeric scalar or vector.

par

Population at risk estimates. Numeric scalar or vector.
