Data Directory and Samples

This directory provides sample input data and an example script to run.

IMPORTANT: The parameter files are provided as a sample only and do not necessarily reflect runs used in published papers.

Directories

• populations: provides population density information

• admin_units: specifies the administration units for each country

• param_files: Provides sample parameter files

Running the sample

The file ./run_sample.py will build and run a sample for a specified country.

Usage

./run_sample.py <COUNTRY>

For example:

./run_sample.py United_Kingdom

This will:

1. Build a copy of the CovidSim executable configured for the appropriate country (in this case the UK)

2. Do a no intervention base run. This run also provides various *.bin files for the later run.

3. Do a run with controls applied. This is the step to be repeated when doing further tests/runs.

The sample script has more command line options available. See ./run_sample.py --help for a list.
