class FertilityDistribution(Updateable):
    def __init__(self,
                 ages_years: List[float],
                 calendar_years: List[float],
                 pregnancy_rate_matrix: List[List[float]]):
        """
        A pregancies/births distribution in units of "annual birth rate per 1000 women". For alternative representations
        of fertlity/birth in EMOD, see config parameter Birth_Rate_Dependence for more details.

        The FertilityDistribution is used to determine the rate of pregnancies that a "possible mother" will have based
        on the individual's age and the calendar year. A woman is a possible mother if her age is between (14.0, 45.0)
        non-inclusive and is not already pregnant. Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will be pregnant for 40 weeks and
        then give birth.

        EMOD uses double linear interpolation (bilinear) of a 'possible mothers' age and the current calendar year to
        determine her probability of becoming pregnant. At every time step, 'possible mothers' are identified and are
        then probabilistically checked to determine if they become pregnant.
        - See https://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Double-Linear-Interpolation

        Fertility at any age or any year that preceeds or exceeds the supplied data will be equal to the value at
        the nearest age and/or timepoint of supplied data.

        In order to model the transfer of immunity or infection from mother to child, one must model pregnancies.

        NOTE: In the limit of low birth rate, the probability of becoming pregnant is equivalent to the birth rate.
        However, at higher birth rates, some fraction of possible mothers will already be pregnant.
        Roughly speaking, if we want women to give birth every other year, and they gestate for one year,
        then the expected time between pregnancy has to be one year, not two.
        Hence, the maximum possible birth rate is 1 child per woman per gestation period.

        To determine if a woman becomes pregnant, the following logic is used:

            birthrate = FertilityDistribution.draw_value( age, calendar_year )
            birthrate = birthrate / (1.0 - birthrate * DAYSPERWEEK(7) * WEEKS_FOR_GESTATION(40))
            birth_probability = birthrate * dt * x_Birth
            is_pregnant = uniform_random_number < birth_probability

        Args:
            ages_years (list[float]): A list of ages (in years) that fertility data will be provided for. Must be a
                list of monotonically increasing floats. Regardless of the provided ages and data, women in EMOD can
                only be possible mothers if their age is between (14.0, 45.0) non-inclusive.

            calendar_years (list[float]): A list of times (in calendar years) that fertility data will be
                provided for. Must be a list of monotonically increasing floats within range 1900 <= year <= 2200 .

            pregnancy_rate_matrix (list[list[float]]): A 2-d grid of fertility rates in units of
                "annual birth rate per 1000 women". The first data dimension (index) is by age, the second data
                dimension is by calendar year. For M ages (in years) and N calendars years, the dimensionality of this
                matrix must be MxN .

A pregancies/births distribution in units of "annual birth rate per 1000 women". For alternative representations of fertlity/birth in EMOD, see config parameter Birth_Rate_Dependence for more details.

The FertilityDistribution is used to determine the rate of pregnancies that a "possible mother" will have based on the individual's age and the calendar year. A woman is a possible mother if her age is between (14.0, 45.0) non-inclusive and is not already pregnant. Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will be pregnant for 40 weeks and then give birth.

At every time step, 'possible mothers' are identified and are then probabilistically checked to determine if they become pregnant. - See https://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Double-Linear-Interpolation

Fertility at any age or any year that preceeds or exceeds the supplied data will be equal to the value at the nearest age and/or timepoint of supplied data.

In order to model the transfer of immunity or infection from mother to child, one must model pregnancies.

NOTE: In the limit of low birth rate, the probability of becoming pregnant is equivalent to the birth rate. However, at higher birth rates, some fraction of possible mothers will already be pregnant. Roughly speaking, if we want women to give birth every other year, and they gestate for one year, then the expected time between pregnancy has to be one year, not two. Hence, the maximum possible birth rate is 1 child per woman per gestation period.

To determine if a woman becomes pregnant, the following logic is used:

birthrate = FertilityDistribution.draw_value( age, calendar_year )
birthrate = birthrate / (1.0 - birthrate * DAYSPERWEEK(7) * WEEKS_FOR_GESTATION(40))
birth_probability = birthrate * dt * x_Birth
is_pregnant = uniform_random_number < birth_probability

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
ages_years list[float]

A list of ages (in years) that fertility data will be provided for. Must be a list of monotonically increasing floats. Regardless of the provided ages and data, women in EMOD can only be possible mothers if their age is between (14.0, 45.0) non-inclusive.

required
calendar_years list[float]

A list of times (in calendar years) that fertility data will be provided for. Must be a list of monotonically increasing floats within range 1900 <= year <= 2200 .

required
pregnancy_rate_matrix list[list[float]]

A 2-d grid of fertility rates in units of "annual birth rate per 1000 women". The first data dimension (index) is by age, the second data dimension is by calendar year. For M ages (in years) and N calendars years, the dimensionality of this matrix must be MxN .

    """
    A pregancies/births distribution in units of "annual birth rate per 1000 women". For alternative representations
    of fertlity/birth in EMOD, see config parameter Birth_Rate_Dependence for more details.

    The FertilityDistribution is used to determine the rate of pregnancies that a "possible mother" will have based
    on the individual's age and the calendar year. A woman is a possible mother if her age is between (14.0, 45.0)
    non-inclusive and is not already pregnant. Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will be pregnant for 40 weeks and
    then give birth.

    EMOD uses double linear interpolation (bilinear) of a 'possible mothers' age and the current calendar year to
    determine her probability of becoming pregnant. At every time step, 'possible mothers' are identified and are
    then probabilistically checked to determine if they become pregnant.
    - See https://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Double-Linear-Interpolation

    Fertility at any age or any year that preceeds or exceeds the supplied data will be equal to the value at
    the nearest age and/or timepoint of supplied data.

    In order to model the transfer of immunity or infection from mother to child, one must model pregnancies.

    NOTE: In the limit of low birth rate, the probability of becoming pregnant is equivalent to the birth rate.
    However, at higher birth rates, some fraction of possible mothers will already be pregnant.
    Roughly speaking, if we want women to give birth every other year, and they gestate for one year,
    then the expected time between pregnancy has to be one year, not two.
    Hence, the maximum possible birth rate is 1 child per woman per gestation period.

    To determine if a woman becomes pregnant, the following logic is used:

        birthrate = FertilityDistribution.draw_value( age, calendar_year )
        birthrate = birthrate / (1.0 - birthrate * DAYSPERWEEK(7) * WEEKS_FOR_GESTATION(40))
        birth_probability = birthrate * dt * x_Birth
        is_pregnant = uniform_random_number < birth_probability

    Args:
        ages_years (list[float]): A list of ages (in years) that fertility data will be provided for. Must be a
            list of monotonically increasing floats. Regardless of the provided ages and data, women in EMOD can
            only be possible mothers if their age is between (14.0, 45.0) non-inclusive.

        calendar_years (list[float]): A list of times (in calendar years) that fertility data will be
            provided for. Must be a list of monotonically increasing floats within range 1900 <= year <= 2200 .

        pregnancy_rate_matrix (list[list[float]]): A 2-d grid of fertility rates in units of
            "annual birth rate per 1000 women". The first data dimension (index) is by age, the second data
            dimension is by calendar year. For M ages (in years) and N calendars years, the dimensionality of this
            matrix must be MxN .
