This repository contains code required to reproduce results from the following paper:
SE Morris, LA Grohskopf, JM Ferdinands, C Reed, M Biggerstaff (2023) Evaluating potential impacts of a preferential vaccine recommendation for adults 65 years of age and older on US influenza burden. Epidemiology.
There is no original data associated with this work.
The findings and conclusions of this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The numerical naming of .R files corresponds approximately to the order in which those files are run:
- Scripts numbered 0--2 construct the basic functions and parameter inputs required to simulate the model (and are used in all subsequent analyses);
- Scripts numbered 3a, 3b simulate the model with baseline parameter values;
- Scripts numbered 4a--4c simulate the main results with different assumptions about vaccine effects (indirect or not) and parameter sampling distributions (uniform or not);
- Scripts numbered 5a--5d conduct sensitivity analyses (one-way, two-way and multi-way (via partial-rank correlation coefficient analysis));
- Scripts numbered 6a, 6b create the figures.
Questions can be directed to Sinead Morris (run7@cdc.gov) or Matthew Biggerstaff (zmo2@cdc.gov).
