Result 1995-1996 epidemic 3 SIR model Baseline Different Alpha BFGS (neg fast C code)

For the guess of parameters beta1 = 5.8 alpha1 = 5.7 Ne = 5695.91 I1 = 1 beta2 = 1.3 alpha2 = 1.2 I2 = 1 beta3 = 0.2 alpha3 = 0.1 I3 = 1, we obtained

beta1 = 2.911476e+01 alpha1 = 2.889162e+01 Ne = 5.696929e+03 I1 = 3.544186e-01 beta2 = 2.292826e+00 alpha2 = 2.102135e+00 I2 = 1.704216e+00 beta3 = 5.333789e+01 alpha3 = 5.225456e+01 I3 = 6.315154e-06

So, this implies that f = 5.696929e+03/29598699 = 0.0001924723

The MLE was -120.01

Weston: This CI contains NA values for I3.

So, r = 7,273,303.
