dacca: Model of cholera transmission for historic Bengal.

In kingaa/pomp: Statistical Inference for Partially Observed Markov Processes

Model of cholera transmission for historic Bengal.

Description

dacca constructs a ‘pomp’ object containing census and cholera mortality data from the Dacca district of the former British province of Bengal over the years 1891 to 1940 together with a stochastic differential equation transmission model. The model is that of King et al. (2008). The parameters are the MLE for the SIRS model with seasonal reservoir.

Usage

dacca(
  gamma = 20.8,
  eps = 19.1,
  rho = 0,
  delta = 0.02,
  deltaI = 0.06,
  clin = 1,
  alpha = 1,
  beta_trend = -0.00498,
  logbeta = c(0.747, 6.38, -3.44, 4.23, 3.33, 4.55),
  logomega = log(c(0.184, 0.0786, 0.0584, 0.00917, 0.000208, 0.0124)),
  sd_beta = 3.13,
  tau = 0.23,
  S_0 = 0.621,
  I_0 = 0.378,
  Y_0 = 0,
  R1_0 = 0.000843,
  R2_0 = 0.000972,
  R3_0 = 1.16e-07
)

alpha	transmission function exponent
beta_trend	slope of secular trend in transmission
logbeta	seasonal transmission rates
logomega	seasonal environmental reservoir parameters
sd_beta	environmental noise intensity
tau	measurement error s.d.
S_0	initial susceptible fraction
I_0	initial fraction of population infected
Y_0	initial fraction of the population in the Y class
R1_0, R2_0, R3_0	initial fractions in the respective R classes

Value

dacca returns a ‘pomp’ object containing the model, data, and MLE parameters, as estimated by King et al. (2008).
