Sets the initial conditions for deterministic compartmental
models simulated with dcm.
init.dcm(s.num, i.num, r.num, s.num.g2, i.num.g2, r.num.g2, ...)Number of initial susceptible. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 susceptible.
Number of initial infected. For two-group models, this is the number of initial group 1 infected.
Number of initial recovered. For two-group models, this is the
number of initial group 1 recovered. This parameter is only used for
the SIR model type.
Number of initial susceptible in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
Number of initial infected in group 2. This parameter is only used for two-group models.
Number of initial recovered in group 2. This parameter is
only used for two-group SIR models.
Additional initial conditions passed to model.
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.
Use param.dcm to specify model parameters and
control.dcm to specify the control settings. Run the
parameterized model with dcm.
