Inset chart output report

The inset chart output report is output with every simulation. It is a JSON-formatted file with the channel output results of the simulation, consisting of simulation-wide averages by time step. The channels in an inset chart are fully specified by the simulation type and cannot be altered without making changes to the EMOD source code. The file name is InsetChart.json. You can use the information contained in the file to create a chart, but EMOD does not automatically output a chart.

The file contains a header and a channels section.

The header section contains the following parameters.

Parameter Data type Description
DateTime string The time stamp indicating when the report was generated.
DTK_Version string The version of EMOD used.
Report_Type string The type of output report.
Report_Version string The format version of the report.
Start_Time integer The time noted in days when the simulation begins.
Simulation_Timestep integer The number of days in each time step.
Timesteps integer The number of time steps in this simulation.
Channels integer The number of channels in the simulation.

Example

The following is a sample of an InsetChart.json file for a simulation with five time steps.

Channels

The channels section contains the following parameters.

Parameter Data type Description
string The title of the particular channel.
Units string The units used for this channel.
Data array A list of the channel data at each time step.

When running generic simulations, the following channels are included in the InsetChart.json file.

Channel Description
Births The live births cumulative up to that day.
Campaign Cost The cost of campaigns cumulative up to that day (set by the Cost_To_Consumer parameter).
Daily (Human) Infection Rate The per-person daily rate of human infection (Human Infectious Reservoir divided by Statistical Population).
Disease Deaths The number of individuals whose death is attributed to disease, cumulative up to that day.
Exposed Population The fraction of the population that is currently infected but not contagious.
Human Infectious Reservoir The total node infectivity, after modifications by the infectious reservoir, seasonality, climate, etc. (if present). The expected number of infections distributed via the contact route, absent immunity or interventions.
Infected The fraction of the population currently infected.
Infectious Population The fraction of the population that is currently infected and contagious.
New Infections The number of individuals that got infected on that day.
Newly Symptomatic The number individuals that became symptomatic on that day.
Recovered Population The fraction of the population that is currently not infected and has zero susceptibility.
Statistical Population The total number of individuals in the simulation on that day.
Susceptible Population The fraction of the population that is currently not infected and is maximally susceptible.
Symptomatic Population The total number of individuals currently experiencing symptoms.
Waning Population The fraction of the population that is currently not infected, has non-zero susceptibility, but is less than maximally susceptible.
