init.icm: Initial Conditions for Stochastic Individual Contact Models

In EpiModel: Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics

Initial Conditions for Stochastic Individual Contact Models

Description

Sets the initial conditions for stochastic individual contact models simulated with icm.

Usage

init.icm(s.num, i.num, r.num, s.num.g2, i.num.g2, r.num.g2, ...)

Arguments

s.num	Number of initial susceptible persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 susceptible persons.
i.num	Number of initial infected persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 infected persons.
r.num	Number of initial recovered persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 recovered persons. This parameter is only used for the SIR model type.
s.num.g2	Number of initial susceptible persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
i.num.g2	Number of initial infected persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
r.num.g2	Number of initial recovered persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group SIR models.
...	Additional initial conditions passed to model.

Details

The initial conditions for a model solved with icm should be input into the init.icm function. This function handles initial conditions for both base models and original models using new modules.

Value

An EpiModel object of class init.icm.
