Incarceration

name: str

Name of feature in the params file. Also used to name the attribute in Agent

stats: List[str]

Incar collects the following stats:

  • incar - number of agents with active incar
  • incar_hiv - number of agents with active incar and HIV
  • new_release - number of agents released this timestep
  • new_release_hiv - number of agents releasted this timestep with HIV

init_agent(self, pop, time)

Initialize the agent for this feature during population initialization (Population.create_agent). Called on only features that are enabled per the params.

Run incarceration assignment on an agent. The duration of incarceration at initialization is different than the ongoing to reflect that agents with longer durations will be more highly represented in that population at any given point in time.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
pop population.Population

the population this agent is a part of

required
time int

the current time step

required

set_stats(self, stats, time)

Update the stats dictionary passed for this agent. Called from output.get_stats for each enabled feature in the model.

The stats to be updated must be declared in the class attribute stats to make sure the dictionary has the expected keys/counter value initialized.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
stats Dict[str, int]

the dictionary to update with this agent's feature statistics

required
time int

the time step of the model when the stats are set

update_agent(self, model)

Update the agent for this feature for a time step. Called once per time step in TITAN.update_all_agents. Agent level updates are done after population level updates. Called on only features that are enabled per the params.

Incarcerate an agent or update their incarceration variables

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model model.TITAN

the instance of TITAN currently being run
