Sets the initial conditions for deterministic compartmental
models simulated with dcm
.
Arguments
- s.num
Number of initial susceptible persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 susceptible persons.
- i.num
Number of initial infected persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 infected persons.
- r.num
Number of initial recovered persons. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 recovered persons. This parameter is only used for the
SIR
model type.- s.num.g2
Number of initial susceptible persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
- i.num.g2
Number of initial infected persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
- r.num.g2
Number of initial recovered persons in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group
SIR
models.- ...
Additional initial conditions passed to model.
Details
The initial conditions for a model solved with dcm
should be
input into the init.dcm
function. This function handles initial
conditions for both base model types and original models. For an overview
of initial conditions for base DCM class models, consult the
Basic DCMs tutorial.
Original models may use the parameter names listed as arguments here, a new set of names, or a combination of both. With new models, initial conditions must be input in the same order that the solved derivatives from the model are output. More details on this requirement are outlined in the Solving New DCMs tutorial.
