Details
The model on which this is based is described in Murray et. al. (2018).
The parameter model is given by:
where \lambda is a rate of interaction in the population, \delta the probability of infection when a susceptible individual interacts with an infectious individual, and \gamma the daily recovery probability.
The initial model for time t = 0 is:
The transition model for time t is:
where \tau_t is the number of interactions between infectious and susceptible individuals, \Delta i_t the number of newly infected individuals, and \Delta r_t the number of newly recovered individuals.
Population counts are then updated:
