unique_id-tools {EpiModel}

Convert Unique Identifiers to/from Positional Identifiers

Description

EpiModel refers to its nodes either by positional identifiers (posit_ids), which describe the position of a node in the attr vector, or by unique identifiers (unique_ids), which allow references to nodes even after they are deactivated.

Usage

get_unique_ids(dat, posit_ids = NULL)

get_posit_ids(dat, unique_ids = NULL)

Arguments

dat

Main netsim_dat object containing a networkDynamic object and other initialization information passed from netsim.

posit_ids

A vector of node positional identifiers (default = NULL).

unique_ids

A vector of node unique identifiers (default = NULL).

Value

A vector of unique or positional identifiers.

All elements

When unique_ids or posit_ids is NULL (default) the full list of positional IDs or unique IDs is returned.

Deactivated nodes

When providing unique_ids of deactivated nodes to get_posit_ids, NAs are returned instead and a warning is produced.
