climepi.epimod.SuitabilityModel.run

SuitabilityModel.run(ds_clim, return_yearly_portion_suitable=False, suitability_threshold=0)

Run the epidemiological model on a given climate dataset.

Extends the parent method to include the option to return the number of days/ months suitable each year (depending on the resolution of the climate data), rather than the full suitability dataset.

Parameters:

• ds_clim (xarray.Dataset) – The input climate dataset.

• return_yearly_portion_suitable (bool, optional) – Whether to return the number of days/months suitable each year (depending on the resolution of the climate data), rather than the full suitability dataset. Default is False.

• suitability_threshold (float, optional) – The minimum suitability threshold for a day/month to be considered suitable. Only used if return_yearly_portion_suitable is True. Default is 0.

Returns:

xarray.Dataset – The output epidemiological dataset.
