Initializes Network Model after Checkpointing — initialize

Sets the parameters, initial conditions, and control settings on the data object, necessary for checkpointing simulations.

Usage

initialize_cp(x, param, init, control, s)

Arguments

x: An EpiModel object of class netest.
param: An EpiModel object of class param.net.
init: An EpiModel object of class init.net.
control: An EpiModel object of class control.net.
s: Simulation number, used for restarting dependent simulations.

Details

When running a stochastic network model from checkpointed data, it is not necessary to run the originally specified initialization module. Instead, the initialization module should reset the parameters, initial conditions, and control settings back onto the data object.

This module is intended to be used in the context of running simulations on high-performance computing settings using netsim_hpc. That function automatically replaces the original initialization function with this checkpointed version when the simulation is in a checkpoint state.
