Result 1995-1996 epidemic 2 SIR model Baseline Same Alpha BFGS (neg fast C code)

For the guess of parameters beta1 = 5.7 alpha1 = 3.4 Ne = 5695.91 I1 = 1 beta2 = 1.3 I2 = 1, we obtained

beta1 = 1.498343e+00 alpha1 = 1.329759e+00 Ne = 5.695718e+03 I1 = 8.521516e+00 beta2 = 4.799326e-04 I2 = 8.850028e-04

So, this implies that f = 5.695718e+03/29598699 = 0.0001924314

The MLE was -128.54

beta1 1.478167e+00 1.5178286

alpha1 1.310935e+00 1.3493722

N 7.114352e+03 7457.2132077

I1 6.424269e+00 10.8867295

beta2 3.016686e-04 0.4182431

I2 7.876560e+01 90.9869829

r 9.570745e+02 979.2315578

So, r = 261.3965.

AICc value 275.9575

Here’s a plot of the model with the data (black is the data, blue is the sum of the two models and baseline, red is the first SIR model, yellow is the second SIR model, and orange is the baseline)
