Result 1997-1998 Epidemic 2 SIR model Baseline Same Alpha SANN/BFGS (neg fast C code)

For the guess of parameters beta1 = 4.9 alpha1 = 4.8 Ne = 12183.5 I1 = 2.1 beta2 = 5.3 I2 = 0.002, we obtained

beta1 = 4.921628e+00 alpha1 = 4.792773e+00 Ne = 1.218372e+04 I1 = 2.125126e+00 beta2 = 5.276053e+00 I2 = 2.040244e-03

So, this implies that f = 1.218372e+04/30170983 = 0.0004038224

The MLE was -153.59

Weston: This CI contains a NA value.
