Compute lethality index, based on compression stress

The model used for this is the logistic model, fitting observed injury/lethality statistics to the base-10 logarithm of the maximum compression stress during a simulated impact event.

Usage

lethalityIndexFromStress(stress)

Arguments

stress

numerical value or vector, giving whale compression stress in Pascals.

Value

threat of injury (in range 0 to 1)
