Can the "Cooperative diseases" example type model be implemented considering complex contagion? #42

Open Kamol-Roy opened 5 years ago

Just to make sure I understand:

All you're asking for is an example of Gillespie_complex_contagion being used to do the cooperative disease case that is currently given as an example of Simple_complex_contagion ?

Kamol-Roy commented 5 years ago

Yes.

So the short answer is that yes, this is doable. The longer answer is that I'll try to add an example to the documentation soon, but I've got a lot on my plate (teaching is just wrapping up, grant application due soon, and travel coming up...).

If you look here: https://epidemicsonnetworks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/functions/EoN.Gillespie_complex_contagion.html#EoN.Gillespie_complex_contagion, there is an example showing how to do a standard SIR model with the complex contagion code. It is possible to adapt that to the cooperative diseases.
