This function initializes the main netsim_dat
class data
object on which data are stored, simulates the initial state of
the networks, and simulates disease status and other attributes.
initialize.net(x, param, init, control, s)
A netsim_dat
class main data object.
If control$start == 1
, either a fitted network model object
of class netest
or a list of such objects. If
control$start > 1
, an object of class netsim
. When
multiple networks are used, the node sets (including network size
and nodal attributes) are assumed to be the same for all networks.
An EpiModel
object of class param.net
.
An EpiModel
object of class init.net
.
An EpiModel
object of class control.net
.
Simulation number, used for restarting dependent simulations.
When re-initializing a simulation, the netsim
object passed
to initialize.net
must contain the elements param
,
nwparam
, epi
, coef.form
, and num.nw
.
