Euler-multinomial models

Description

Density and random-deviate generation for the Euler-multinomial death process with parameters size, rate, and dt.

Usage

reulermultinom(n = 1, size, rate, dt)
deulermultinom(x, size, rate, dt, log = FALSE)

Arguments

n integer; number of random variates to generate.
size scalar integer; number of individuals at risk.
rate numeric vector of hazard rates.
dt numeric scalar; duration of Euler step.
x Matrix or vector containing number of individuals that have succumbed to each death process.
log logical; if TRUE, return logarithm(s) of probabilities.

Details

Direct access to the underlying C routines is available: see the header file “pomp.h”, included with the package.

Value

reulermultinom Returns a length(rate) by n matrix. Each column is a different random draw. Each row contains the numbers of individuals succumbed to the corresponding process.
deulermultinom Returns a vector (of length equal to the number of columns of x) containing the probabilities of observing each column of x given the specified parameters (size, rate, dt).
