Solves for root of equation of geometrically-distributed lifespan for value of omega.
Usage
calcOmega(mu, lifespanReduction)
Arguments
- mu
Daily mortality probability (discrete-time hazard, called muAd in code)
- lifespanReduction
Target reduced lifespan, between 0 and 1
(target average lifespan will be \(\frac{1}{\mu_{Ad}} \times lifespanReduction\))
Examples
# reduce lifespan by 10%
# Example mu is an average for Aedes
newOmega <- calcOmega(mu = 0.11, lifespanReduction = 0.90)
