Event counter report (ReportEventCounter.json)

The event counter report is a JSON-formatted file that keeps track of how many of each event types occurs during a time step. The report produced is similar to the InsetChart.json channel report, where there is one channel for each event defined in the configuration file (config.json).

The output file is named ReportEventCounter.json, and is produced via the libreporteventcounter.dll file. See software-custom-reporter for information on using using dynamic link library (DLL) files.

Configuration

The following parameters need to be configured to generate the report:

Parameter name Data type Min Max Default Description
Start_Day float 0 3.40E+38 0 The day to start collecting data for the report.
Duration_Days float 0 3.40E+38 3.40E+38 The duration of simulation days over which to report events.
Report_Description string NA NA NA Name of the report (it augments the filename of the report). If multiple CSV reports are being generated, this allows the user to distinguish one report from another.
Nodeset_Config JSON object NA NA NA An object that specifies in which nodes the interventions will be distributed.
Event_Trigger_List list of strings NA NA NA The list of event triggers for the events included in the report.

The header section contains the following parameters:

Parameter Data type Description
Channels integer The number of entries in the 'Channels' map (e.g. the number of events that the report is counting).
DTK_Version string The version of EMOD that was used.
DateTime string The date and time the report was created.
Report_Type string The type of report created (it should always be InsetChart/Channel Report).
Report_Version string The version of the report format.
Simulation_Timestep integer The number of days in one time step of the simulation.
Timesteps integer The number of time steps recorded in the file, Each channel should have this number of entries.

Channels

The channels section contains the following parameters:

Parameter Data type Description
string The name of the event.
Data array An array of event counts where each entry is the number of events that occurred during the timestep.
Units string Empty string, but it is the 'event count'.
