NetworkDataSINR: Simulated epidemic data set from a network-based SINR ILM

Description Usage Format

Description

This is a simulated epidemic data set of population size = 50 individuals that was generated using a network-based SINR individual-level model (ILM) with a contact network that was generated using the power-law model with parameters β=1.8 and α=1. The model has one binary susceptible covariate and the infectivity rate is given by:

λ_{jt} = (α_0 + α_1 z_j) [∑_{i in I_t}{c_{ij}}+ γ ∑_{i in N_t}{c_{ij}}]

The incubation period is assumed to follow a gamma distribution Γ(4,δ^{(inc)}), and the delay period is assumed to follow an exponential distribution δ^(delay). The epidemic was simulated with the following parameter values: α_0 = 0.08, α_1 = 2, γ = 1, δ^(inc)=2 and δ^(delay)=2.

The data set file contains the XY coordinates of individuals, the contact network matrix, the covariate matrix and the simulated epidemic data.
