av_long_uninfected function

Average longevity: estimate for uninfected hosts

Calculates expected average longevity due only to background mortality

av_long_uninfected(a1, b1, d1 = "")

Arguments

• a1, b1: numeric: location & scale parameters for background mortality, respectively
• d1: character: probability distribution chosen to describe data

Returns

a vector

Details

The expected average longevity is calculated as the integral from zero to infinity of the cumulative survival function for background mortality, given values of a1, b1, d1

Examples

av_long_uninfected(a1 = 3.0, b1 = 0.6, d1 = "Weibull") #17.947
