Usage

contactMatrixAgeSchool(
  agelims,
  agepops,
  schoolagegroups,
  schoolpops,
  schportion
)

Arguments

agelims: minimum age in years for each age group
agepops: population size of each age group
schoolagegroups: index of the age group covered by each school
schoolpops: population size of each school
schportion: portion of within-age-group contacts that are exclusively within school

Value

a square matrix with the contact rate of each group (row) with members of each other group (column)

Examples

contactMatrixAgeSchool(agelims = c(0, 5, 18), agepops = c(500, 1300, 8200),
schoolagegroups = c(2, 2), schoolpops = c(600, 700), schportion = 0.7)
