Default Parameters
This list shows the parameters that are applied when spawning a simulation without additonal arguments like sim = Simulation().
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Simulation | |
| Time Unit | days |
| Global setting | false (single common setting for all individuals is deactivated) |
| Setting types | Household, SchoolClass, Office |
| Start date | 2024.01.01 |
| End date | 2024.12.31 |
| Start condition | 0.1% randomly infected individuals |
| Population | |
| size | 100,000 individuals |
| Average household size | 3 individuals |
| Average school size | 100 individuals (everybody 6-18 years assigned); internally handled as SchoolClass |
| Average office size | 5 individuals (everybody 18-65 years assigned) |
| Pathogen | |
| Name | Covid19 |
| Transmission rate | 20% infection chance for each contact |
| Symptom onset | 3 days after infection (Poission-distributed) |
| Time to recovery | 7 days after symptom onset (Poission-distributed) |
| Severeness onset | 3 days after symptom onset (Poission-distributed) |
| Infecious offset | 1 days before symptom onset (Poission-distributed) |
| Death rate with mild progression | 0% |
| Death rate with severe progression | 5% |
| Death rate with critical progression | 20% |
| Hospitalization rate | 30% with severe- and 100% with critical progression |
| Time to Hospitalization | 7 days after symptom onset (Poission-distributed) |
| Length of (hospital) stay | 7 days (Poission-distributed) |
| Disease progressions | 40% asymptomatic, 45% mild, 10% severe, 5% critical, age-independent |
| Contacts | |
| Household contact rate | 1 contact per day (poisson distributed), randomly drawn from member list |
| School contact rate | 1 contact per day (poisson distributed), randomly drawn from member list |
| Office contact rate | 1 contact per day (poisson distributed), randomly drawn from member list |
| Any other setting | If you load a population model with more setting types, they will have the same parameters |
