fit.polymod: Fit POLYMOD matrix and age population to target distribution...

In sbfnk/dynmod: Dynamic models

Description

Takes a polymod matrix (participants and contacts) and a distribution of ages in the population and fits it to a target distribution of cases among ages (fitting the transmission parameter q and mixing between the first age group)

Usage

fit.polymod(participants, contacts, ages, target, nFits = 1, sample = F,
  yearbyyear = F, verbose = F, ...)

Arguments

participants	POLYMOD participants
contacts	POLIYMOD contacts
ages	age groups and number of people in each of these groups. This is needed to normalise the contact matrix
target	target relative age distribution
nFits	nubmer of fits to produce
sample	whether to take a sample from the age of contacts
yearbyyear	whether to fit q year-by-year instead of fitting one parameter

Details

This is specific to the POLYMOD data format

Value

a list containing q: best fitting q child.mixing: best fixing mixing in first age group R0: R0 for the best fitting parameters diff: difference between the fitted and target age distributions
