toy_epi_sim {ndtv}

Toy Epidemic Simulation Output from the EpiModel package

Description

An example network of a trivial simulated disease process spreading over a simulated dynamic contact network among 100 individuals for 25 discrete time steps.

Usage

data("toy_epi_sim")

Format

The format is a networkDynamic object with attached attributes for vertex.pid (persistand ids), and dynamic attributes for ndtvcol (color corresponding to infection status) and testatus (infection status of vertices)

Details

The toy_epi_sim network is example output from a basic dynamic network STERGM simulation and trivial "SI" infection simulation generated using the EpiModel package. The model had random ("edges only") edge formation and dissolution effects, with rates calculated to lead to mean edge durations of 10 time units. The infection simulation had an infection probability of 0.8.

The simulation was generated with the following code:

library(EpiModel)

## Network Estimation (using a tergm model)
nw <- network.initialize(n = 100, directed = FALSE)
formation <- ~ edges
target.stats <- 50
dissolution <- ~ offset(edges)
coef.diss <- dissolution_coefs(dissolution, duration = 10)
est <- netest(nw,
              formation,
              dissolution,
              target.stats,
              coef.diss,
              verbose = FALSE)

## Epidemic simulation
param <- param.net(inf.prob = 0.8)
init <- init.net(i.num = 5)
control <- control.net(type = "SI", nsteps = 25, nsims = 1, verbose =
                         FALSE)
sim <- netsim(est, param, init, control)

## Use some of EpiModel's default coloring functions to cache colors
toy_epi_sim <- get_network(sim)
toy_epi_sim <- color_tea(toy_epi_sim)
