A simple function to determine a daily mortality likelihood according to the value of a stress variable.
mortality_dailyProbability(basalMortalityRate, stressValue,
stressThreshold, minValue = 0.0,
exponent = 10.0)Returns a probability (between 0 and 1).
Basal daily mortality rate per individual.
Current value of the stress variable (lower values indicate stronger stress).
Threshold to indicate that lower values increase mortality likelihood.
Minimum value of the stress variable (i.e. maximum stress), corresponding to probability of mortality equal to 1.
Coefficient modulating the steepness of the relationship.
