    • Understanding Network
    • Understanding Networks
    • Seeding different demographics
  • Mixers and Merge-functions
    • Force of infection (FOI)
    • Mix evenly
  • Using custom merge functions to model shielding
    • Interaction matrix
    • Custom mixers
    • Adjusting shielding parameters
  • Contact probabilities and Demographics
    • Modelling demographics as part of the same population
