Simulation module configuration#

There is a list of possible parameters for file simulation_configuration.json responsible for creating simulation of defined regions. Example of the configuration file can be found below and is also for download here.

Settings for running a simulation#

• parallel_run: (bool) - to enable a parallel simulation that will use as many cores as many sims are defined. Used to load population and initialize simulation much faster.
• test: (bool) OPTIONAL- to enable running the simulation in test mode. It will override test settings both for population size and population type also with mobility.

Region parameters#

Input csv file responsible for selecting regions to be included in the simulation. There can be multiple regions defined, but it really depends on the true value of each row.

Recommended keys are: - location_code - use - region_parent_name - pop_infected

Other allowed parameters are described here Example file for download available here.

Example of csv/xlsx file structure:

location_code	use	region_parent_name	name	popfile	pop_infected
CZ01	true	Czechia	Region1	/absolute/path/to/popfile0.pop	2
CZ02	true	Czechia	Region2	/absolute/path/to/popfile1.pop	0
CZ03	true	Czechia	Region3		0

Global parameters#

Input csv file responsible for defining global parameters for simulation. There can be only one row defined that will be used for all regions. Global parameters can also be defined inside configuration file. In case of same key are defined in both the csv and the configuration file, the csv file has priority.

Recommended keys are here Example file for download is available here.

Example csv/xlsx file structure:

n_days	start_day	use_waning	unique_mobility_indexes
90	2020-01-1	true	True

Interventions#

Input csv file responsible for defining policy interventions during the simulation. There can be multiple interventions depending on the true value of each row. More info about intervention can be found here and here. Example file for download available here.
