laser.measles.components.base_constant_pop

base_constant_pop

Component defining the ConstantPopProcess, which handles the birth events in a model with constant population - that is, births == deaths.

BaseConstantPopParams

Bases: BaseVitalDynamicsParams

Parameters specific to the births process component.

Examples:

1
2
3
from laser.measles.biweekly.components.process_constant_pop import ConstantPopParams

params = ConstantPopParams(crude_birth_rate=20)

crude_death_rate property

Death rate is always equal to birth rate to maintain constant population.

BaseConstantPopProcess(model, params=None)

Bases: BaseVitalDynamicsProcess

A component to handle the birth events in a model with constant population - that is, births == deaths.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
model

The model instance containing population and parameters.

initializers list

List of initializers to be called on birth events.

metrics DataFrame

DataFrame to holding timing metrics for initializers.

Examples:

1

from laser.measles.scenarios.synthetic import single_patch_scenario
from laser.measles.biweekly import BiweeklyModel, BiweeklyParams
from laser.measles.biweekly import components
from laser.measles import create_component

scenario = single_patch_scenario(population=100_000, mcv1_coverage=0.85)
params = BiweeklyParams(num_ticks=52, seed=42, start_time="2000-01")
model = BiweeklyModel(scenario, params)
model.add_component(create_component(components.ConstantPopProcess, components.ConstantPopParams()))

Initialize the Births component.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model object

The model object which must have a population attribute.

required
params BirthsParams

Component parameters. If None, uses model.params.

None

lambda_birth property

birth rate per tick

mu_death property

death rate per tick

__call__(model, tick)

Adds new agents to each patch based on expected daily births calculated from CBR. Calls each of the registered initializers for the newborns.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model

The simulation model containing patches, population, and parameters.

required
tick

The current time step in the simulation.

required

Returns:

Type Description
None

None

This method performs the following steps:

  1. Draw a random set of indices, or size size "number of births" from the population,

calculate_capacity(model)

Calculate the capacity of the model.
