Understanding the joint impact of contact networks and susceptibility to infection on population infectious diseases burden

EpiNetwork

To understand the joint impact of contact networks and susceptibility on the burden of infectious diseases.

We look at outbreak patterns in the general population, as well as disparities between groups regarding social determinants.

Primary research question focuses on the effects and the effect modification(interaction) of (1)contact clustering in the network and (2)individual susceptibility to infection, two mediators on two different pathways leading from (3)social determinants(SES for example) to (4)the outcome of disease on a DAG.

So to begin with, we make nodematch level(an edgewise feature) and susceptibility(a nodewise feature) the only changing variables, controlling for all the other factors.

Later on we might apply different durations for edges with different nature(nodematched vs. cross-group) as an auxiliary question. For me at this moment, making edge duration heterogeneous requires further knowledge of formation function in EpiModel.

Trouble shoot 0922_largepop.R

Hi Sam,

This code outputs 14 runs of SIS simulation, with gradient level of assortative mixing regarding 2 groups of nodes.

I aim to observe what the nodematched level does to the overall and by-group incidence. Details about parametrization can be found in 0922_readme.md.
Could you please double check whether the code is basically ok for this purpose?

Another thing is a technical issue, that the code is executed well, but doesn't output the last two plots I plotted for each iteration. But when I do cmd+enter step by step, the plots are displayed with no problem. This is really weird.
Could you please help shoot the trouble?

Thanks,
Shiyao
