Improvement to interventions.cpp #27

Closed jackolney closed 9 years ago

jackolney commented 9 years ago

After calibration of the model, involving changing toolbox.cpp I need to update the values in interventions.cpp as care seeking rates / linkage rates are all based on the original value. As the "intervention script" is run for all individuals, if I just put in a ((1-x)/2)+x type function then each person reduces the value of the original.

Two potential solutions:

  1. Allow interventions to be global i.e. using a population pointer (not a person pointer), then randomly pick individuals to apply the intervention to - from the people .
  2. Alternatively, create an 'original' set of parameter values, and then each person uses a copy of that parameter value, so if halving a value, the original would always exist so the value wouldn't mess up.

Option two is easy but option one is much neater. Perhaps leave for development over Christmas.

Updated. went with option 2 as the intervention startTime varies for individuals (as people born after the interventions start...)
