NodePropertyValueChanger

The NodePropertyValueChanger intervention class sets a given node property to a new value. You can also define a duration in days before the node property reverts back to its original value, the probability that a node will change its node property to the target value, and the number of days over which nodes will attempt to change their individual properties to the target value. This node-level intervention functions in a similar manner as the individual-level intervention, PropertyValueChanger.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of “NA” indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files.

The table below describes all possible parameters with which this class can be configured. The JSON example that follows shows one potential configuration.

Parameter	Data type	Minimum	Maximum	Default	Description	Example
Daily_Probability	float	0	1	1	The daily probability that a node will move to the Target_Property_Value.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "PropertyValueChanger", "Disqualifying_Properties": [], "New_Property_Value": "", "Target_Property_Key": "Risk", "Target_Property_Value": "LOW", "Daily_Probability": 1.0, "Maximum_Duration": 0, "Revert": 0 } }
Disqualifying_Properties	array of strings	NA	NA	[]	A list of NodeProperty key:value pairs that cause an intervention to be aborted (persistent interventions will stop being distributed to nodes with these values). See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties parameters for more information. Generally used to control the flow of health care access. For example, to prevent the same individual from accessing health care via two different routes at the same time.	{ "Disqualifying_Properties": [ "InterventionStatus:LostForever" ] }
Intervention_Name	string	NA	NA	NA	The optional name used to refer to this intervention as a means to differentiate it from others that use the same class.	{ "Intervention_Name": "Diagnostic_Sample" }
Maximum_Duration	float	-1	3.40E+38	3.40E+38	The maximum amount of time nodes have to update the property value. This timing works in conjunction with Daily_Probability.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "PropertyValueChanger", "Disqualifying_Properties": [], "New_Property_Value": "", "Target_Property_Key": "Risk", "Target_Property_Value": "LOW", "Daily_Probability": 1.0, "Maximum_Duration": 0, "Revert": 0 } }
New_Property_Value	string	NA	NA	NA	An optional NodeProperty key:value pair that will be assigned when the intervention is distributed. See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties parameters for more information. Generally used to indicate the broad category of health care cascade to which an intervention belongs to prevent individuals from accessing care through multiple pathways. For example, if an individual must already be taking a particular medication to be prescribed a new one.	{ "New_Property_Value": "InterventionStatus:None" }
Revert	float	0	10000	0	The number of days before an individual moves back to their original group.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "PropertyValueChanger", "Disqualifying_Properties": [], "New_Property_Value": "", "Target_Property_Key": "Risk", "Target_Property_Value": "LOW", "Daily_Probability": 1.0, "Maximum_Duration": 0, "Revert": 0 } }
Target_NP_Key_Value	string	NA	NA	NA	The NodeProperty key:value pair, as defined in the demographics file, to assign to the node.	{ "Target_NP_Key_Value": "InterventionStatus:NONE" }
