Description
The files survival_modelI.nb and survival_modelII.nb are Mathematica programs that can be used to estimate the parameters of the main model, and the file individual_analysis.nb performs the regressions relating to individual error terms. All the data files are described in readme.txt.
Download all the files in the same directory. Change in the programs "workdirectory" to the current directory. The data files realdata.txt, covariates.txt, weather.txt, and jlast.txt are needed to run the program survival_xxx.nb. Change the random seed to obtain different starting values. The posterior distributions are saved in the results_xxx.txt files.
In the program individual_analysis.nb, the estimated distribution of individual errors is imported from the file individual_errors.txt. Set “infile” to femalemobility.txt if individual errors are regressed against the individual’s mobility. The posterior distribution is saved to the file "outfile".
