Pertussis Model
We now describe how the framework functions can be combined to obtain an analysis workflow for the Pertussis model introduced in the main paper: A computational framework for modeling andstudying pertussis epidemiology and vaccination.
We first introduce all the functions, the constants, and the numerical values associated with the general transitions rate (the black boxes in figure ). Then, we show the proposed framework and how it can be successfully used to study and analyze pertussis infection and the relative vaccination cycle in Italy. All the details regarding the function associated to the general transition and the parameters exploited in the simulations are reported in the ReadMe.pdf into the folder pdf.
