SIRPartialImmunity: SIR model with partial immunity (P 4.1).

In EpiDynamics: Dynamic Models in Epidemiology

Description

Solves a model with partial immunitiy.

Usage

SIRPartialImmunity(pars = NULL, init = NULL, time = NULL, ...)

Arguments

pars	vector with 9 values: the death, birth, transmission and recovery rates, the modified susceptiblity to strain i for those individuals recovered from the other strain and the modified transmission rate of strain i from those individuals that have recovered from the other strain. The name of these values must be "mu", "v", "beta1", "beta2", "gamma1", "gamma2", "alpha1", "aplha2", "a1", "a2". The numbers 1 and 2 at the end of parameters names stand for strain 1 and strain 2.
init	vector with 8 values: In this formulation NAB refers to the proportion of the population who are A with respect to strain 1 and B with respect to strain 2. Thus, initial values must be named: "NSS", "NIS", "NRS", "NRI", "NSI", "NSR", "NIR" and "NRR". The sum of initial values must be <= 1.
time	time sequence for which output is wanted; the first value of times must be the initial time.
...	further arguments passed to ode function.

Details

This is the R version of program 4.1 from page 118 of "Modeling Infectious Disease in humans and animals" by Keeling & Rohani.

Value

list. The first element, *$model, is the model function. The second, third and fourth elements are the vectors (*$pars, *$init, *$time, containing the pars, init and time arguments of the function. The fifth element *$results is a data.frame with up to as many rows as elements in time. First column contains the time. Second, third and fourth columns contain the proportion of susceptibles, infectious and recovered.
