polymod_uk: Example POLYMOD social contact data for the U.K.

In epiverse-trace/finalsize: Calculate the Final Size of an Epidemic

Example POLYMOD social contact data for the U.K.

Description

An example of social contact and demography data for use with finalsize, accessed from the POLYMOD social contacts dataset using the socialmixr package. Data are for the United Kingdom, and age limits are set at 0, 20, and 40 years, with symmetric = TRUE. Code to get these data is given in data-raw/polymod_uk.R.

Usage

polymod_uk

Format

polymod_uk

A list with two named elements:

contact_matrix

A contact matrix with mean contacts between age groups. This matrix is scaled by its largest real eigenvalue, and each row is scaled by the corresponding element in the demography_vector.

demography_vector

A vector with the number of individuals in each of three age groups: 0 – 20, 20 – 40, 40+.
