make_forcing_function function

Makes Forcing Function From Times and Values

Takes a list of times, values, and an interpolation method

make_forcing_function(
  times,
  values,
  type,
  output_times,
  sample_delta_mult = 0.001
)

Arguments

• times: time values for the forcing function

• values: magnitude for each time (same length of time)

• type: string indicating the type of forcing function can be one of the following:

  • "step" for constant values that switch to new values at the times
  • "linear" to linearly interpolate between the points

• output_times: vector of simulation output times

• sample_delta_mult: multiplier used to control the magnitude of spacing around event times

Returns

matrix with two columns: first column is a vector of times and the second column is a vector of values
