Epidemiological compartments and indices

Source: R/constants.R
epi_constants.Rd

Names and indices for the epidemiological compartments used in DAEDALUS, for reuse in model code. The duplication is for ease of extracting indices from a named list, and of extracting names without having to call names().

Usage

COMPARTMENTS

idx_COMPARTMENTS

N_EPI_COMPARTMENTS

i_EPI_COMPARTMENTS

N_MODEL_COMPARTMENTS

N_INFECTION_SUBSYSTEM

Value

COMPARTMENTS returns a character vector of the epidemiological compartment names. idx_COMPARTMENTS returns a list with the compartment index.

All other constants return integer values.

Details

DAEDALUS has 8 epidemiological compartments: susceptible, exposed, infectious and symptomatic ("infect_symp"), infectious and asymptomatic ("infect_asymp") , hospitalised leading to recovery ("hospitalised_recov"), hospitalised leading to death ("hospitalised_death"), recovered, and dead.

There are 2 additional compartments that track the number of new infections and new hospitalisations.
