dynamic_pars

class dynamic_pars(pars=None, **kwargs)

Bases: Intervention

A generic intervention that modifies a set of parameters at specified points in time.

The intervention takes a single argument, pars, which is a dictionary of which parameters to change, with following structure: keys are the parameters to change, then subkeys ‘days’ and ‘vals’ are either a scalar or list of when the change(s) should take effect and what the new value should be, respectively.

You can also pass parameters to change directly as keyword arguments.

Parameters:

• pars (dict) – described above

• kwargs (dict) – passed to Intervention()

Examples:

interv = cv.dynamic_pars(n_imports=dict(days=10, vals=100))
interv = cv.dynamic_pars({'beta':{'days':[14, 28], 'vals':[0.005, 0.015]}, 'rel_death_prob':{'days':30, 'vals':2.0}}) # Change beta, and make diagnosed people stop transmitting

Methods

apply(sim)

Loop over the parameters, and then loop over the days, applying them if any are found
