Changes and Information

In the IDE-SECIR model, two indices were not adapted for multiple age groups. This was corrected here and appropriate test was added to check the correctness of the ageresolved simulation.

Merge Request - Guideline Checklist

Please check our git workflow. Use the draft feature if the Pull Request is not yet ready to review.

Checks by code author

  • Every addressed issue is linked (use the "Closes #ISSUE" keyword below)
  • New code adheres to coding guidelines
  • No large data files have been added (files should in sum not exceed 100 KB, avoid PDFs, Word docs, etc.)
  • Tests are added for new functionality and a local test run was successful (with and without OpenMP)
  • Appropriate documentation within the code (Doxygen) for new functionality has been added in the code
  • Appropriate external documentation (ReadTheDocs) for new functionality has been added to the online documentation
  • Proper attention to licenses, especially no new third-party software with conflicting license has been added
  • (For ABM development) Checked benchmark results and ran and posted a local test above from before and after development to ensure performance is monitored.

Checks by code reviewer(s)

  • Corresponding issue(s) is/are linked and addressed
  • Code is clean of development artifacts (no deactivated or commented code lines, no debugging printouts, etc.)
  • Appropriate unit tests have been added, CI passes, code coverage and performance is acceptable (did not decrease)
  • No large data files added in the whole history of commits(files should in sum not exceed 100 KB, avoid PDFs, Word docs, etc.)
  • On merge, add 2-5 lines with the changes (main added features, changed items, or corrected bugs) to the merge-commit-message. This can be taken from the briefly-list-the-changes above (best case) or the separate commit messages (worst case).

Very nice documentation for the new test. The only important comment is on line 278 regarding testing interactions between age groups.

Comment on lines 278 to 281
// Model with whole population in second age group with index 1. Use baseline values scaled by baseline_scaling.
considered_group = 1;
std::vector<ScalarType> N_vec_group1 = {0., baseline_scaling * population_baseline};
std::vector<ScalarType> deaths_vec_group1 = {0., baseline_scaling * deaths_baseline};

I would have expected that the second test uses both populations to check that there are no unexpected interactions between age groups. With the current setup, any interactions between age groups vanishes (as the "other" age group is always 0), so in theory that could hide indexing errors.
Do you want to cover that case?

That's right. I adapted the test so that now I have two model with two different age groups (the second as a multiple of the first one). The models differ with respect to their contact matrices. In the first model I only have contacts within each group and in the second model individuals have only contact with the other group. This should cover the relevant cases.

model_inter.parameters.set<mio::isecir::Seasonality>(0.);
model_inter.parameters.set<mio::isecir::StartDay>(0);

// Here we set the contact matrices for both models which is where they differ from each other.

Is the LCT Model copyable? If so, you can save a good number of lines by only setting up one model, and then copying it right here.

Maybe put a comment (or just a newline between the EXPECTs? Otherwise the inters and intras completely blend together.

Why do both models have the same result?
I would have expected different scaling between the inter and intra groups, as the second age group has twice the population as the first. So when only inter-age group interactions happen, I'd expect the first age group double in infection rate (and half for the second) compared to the intra model.

In both groups we have the same fraction of infected individuals compared to the total population, so the probability of meeting an infected individual is the same for both groups. Because we have the same number of contacts to other individuals for each group in both models, we get the same results. I can add a sentence on that.

Maybe my intuition was just wrong here. I expected the interaction to work like

S_0' = S_0 * I_1 / N_0

instead of

S_0' = S_0 * I_1 / N_1

So it is probably fine without a comment. Though explaining why sth works in code never hurts.
