find_n_feed

Probability of finding a host and successfully feeding on it

Code to specify, run, and then visualize and analyze the results of
Ixodidae (hard-bodied ticks) population and infection dynamics models. Such
models exist in the literature, but the source code to run them is not
always available. 'IxPopDyMod' provides an easy way for these models to be
written and shared.

find_n_feed function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>Predictor 1 in transitions table. Numeric vector indicating host
density for each of the host species. Length should be equal to the number
of host species.</dd>
<dt>a</dt>
<dd>Parameter <code>a</code> is the probability that a tick finds any one host.</dd>
<dt>pref</dt>
<dd>Parameters named <code>pref</code> in parameters table. Numeric vector of
length equal to the number of host species. Values are the preference for
ticks in a given transition for each host species.</dd>
<dt>feed_success</dt>
<dd>Parameters named <code>feed success</code> in parameters table.
Numeric vector of length equal to the number of host species. Values are
the feeding success rate for ticks in a given transition while feeding on
each host species.</dd></dl>
