Infection#
- class Infection(*args, **kwargs)[source]#
Bases:
Disease
Base class for infectious diseases used in Starsim
This class contains specializations for infectious transmission (i.e., implements network-based transmission with directional beta values) and defines attributes that connectors operate on to capture co-infection
Attributes
Generally defined as an alias for infected, although these may differ in some diseases.
now
Return the current time, i.e. the time vector at the current timestep.
states
Return a flat list of all states
statesdict
Return a flat dictionary (objdict) of all states
Methods
- property infectious#
Generally defined as an alias for infected, although these may differ in some diseases. Transmission comes from infectious people; prevalence estimates may include infected people who don’t transmit
- init_post()[source]#
Set initial values for states. This could involve passing in a full set of initial conditions, or using init_prev, or other. Note that this is different to initialization of the Arr objects i.e., creating their dynamic array, linking them to a People instance. That should have already taken place by the time this method is called.
