Disease progression

The following parameters determine aspects of typhoid disease progression.

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 format does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.

Parameter	Data type	Minimum	Maximum	Default	Description	Example
Typhoid_Exposure_Lambda	float	-1	100	2	The average number of typhoid exposures during time period.	{ "Typhoid_Exposure_Lambda": 2 }
Typhoid_Symptomatic_Fraction	float	0	1	0.5	Proportion of prepatent cases that become acute vs. subclinical.	{ "Typhoid_Symptomatic_Fraction": 0.5 }
