epi_synthetic_multi: Multivariate Synthetic Epidemiological Time-Series Data

Description

A multivariate synthetic infection-count dataset generated from three independent stochastic epidemic processes simulated using the Doob–Gillespie algorithm. Each time series has a different transmission rate, resulting in distinct change point structures.

Usage

data(epi_synthetic_multi)

Arguments

Format

A \(3 \times 200\) numeric matrix. Each row represents one synthetic epidemic time series and each column corresponds to a discrete time point.

Details

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

All three epidemic processes use:

  • S0 = 100000, I0 = 20

  • max_time = 200

  • xi_0 = 1/8

The three beta vectors differ in their change-point locations and values:

  • Series 1: 0.211 → 0.55 at time 120

  • Series 2: 0.215 → 0.52 at time 120

  • Series 3: 0.193 → 0.53 at time 30
