epi_synthetic: Synthetic Epidemiological Time-Series Data

Description

A toy dataset generated from a stochastic SIR-type epidemic model using the Doob–Gillespie algorithm. The transmission rate beta changes once over time, resultiing in a single change-point in the infection counts.

Usage

data(epi_synthetic)

Arguments

Format

A 200 × 1 numeric matrix containing the daily number of infection events.

Details

The simulation follows the stochastic simulation framework of: Anderson, D. F. and Kurtz, T. G. (2015). Stochastic Analysis of Biochemical Systems. Springer International Publishing.

The simulation uses:

  • S0 = 10000, I0 = 50

  • max_time = 200

  • A piecewise-constant transmission rate vector with a change at time 130

  • Infection event times aggregated using floor()
