Age and demography

Implementation in MultiMalModPy

🔍 For a detailed overview of how each model handles population and age demography, refer to the Population and age demography description under malaria models.

In MultiMalModPy, the user can specify the following time related parameters: - agebins - individual age categories used for detailed analysis in the simulation. - age_groups_aggregates - custom groupings of the agebins for aggregated analysis.
- emod_pop_size , malariasimulation_pop_size , openmalaria_pop_size - population sizes (model specific)

Example:

agebins = [0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 100]
age_groups_aggregates = [[0, 0.5], [0.5, 1], [1, 2], [2, 5], [5, 10], [10, 15], [15, 20], [20, 100],  [0, 5], [0, 100]]

Change age demography

Changing the age stucture across the three models is currently not supported.
