MetaWards.utils

These are utility functions that are used by the top-level MetaWards package to run a model. The functions are heavily inspired by the C functions from the original program.

The functions divide into four main types, the key functions of which are described below;

Setting up the network

• build_wards_network()

• add_wards_network_distance()

• initialise_infections()

• initialise_play_infections()

• move_population_from_play_to_work()

• move_population_from_work_to_play()

Performing a model run

• run_model()

• iterate()

• iterate_weekend()

Extracting data from each iteration

• extract()

Performing multiple model runs in parallel

• run_models()

• run_worker()

All of the above functions (and the many others in metawards.utils) are described in more detail here;
