Defines functions for making the population.

make_people(sim, popdict=None, reset=False, verbose=None, use_age_data=True, sex_ratio=0.5, dt_round_age=True, microstructure=None, age_data=None, pop_trend=None, pop_age_trend=None, **kwargs)

Make the people for the simulation.

Usually called via hpvsim.sim.Sim.initialize().

Parameters:

• sim (Sim) – the simulation object; population parameters are taken from the sim object

• popdict (any) – if supplied, use this population dictionary instead of generating a new one; can be a dict or People object

• reset (bool) – whether to force population creation even if self.popdict/self.people exists

• verbose (bool) – level of detail to print

• use_age_data (bool) –

• sex_ratio (bool) –

• dt_round_age (bool) – whether to round people’s ages to the nearest timestep (default true)

Returns:

people

Return type:

people (People)

make_contacts(lno=None, tind=None, partners=None, current_partners=None, ages=None, debuts=None, is_female=None, is_active=None, mixing=None, layer_probs=None, f_cross_layer=None, m_cross_layer=None, durations=None, acts=None, age_act_pars=None, cluster=None, add_mixing=None)

Make contacts for a single layer as an edgelist. This will select sexually active male partners for sexually active females using age structure if given.
