initialize.net: Initialization: netsim Module

In EpiModel: Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics

Initialization: netsim Module

Description

This function initializes the main netsim_dat class data object on which data are stored, simulates the initial state of the networks, and simulates disease status and other attributes.

Usage

initialize.net(x, param, init, control, s)

Arguments

x	If control$start == 1, either a fitted network model object of class netest or a list of such objects. If control$start > 1, an object of class netsim. When multiple networks are used, the node sets (including network size and nodal attributes) are assumed to be the same for all networks.
param	An EpiModel object of class param.net.
init	An EpiModel object of class init.net.
control	An EpiModel object of class control.net.
s	Simulation number, used for restarting dependent simulations.

Details

When re-initializing a simulation, the netsim object passed to initialize.net must contain the elements param, nwparam, epi, attr, temp, coef.form, and num.nw. If tergmLite == TRUE it must also contain the elements el and net_attr. If tergmLite == FALSE it must also contain the element network.

Value

A netsim_dat class main data object.
