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
