PopART-IBM, a highly efficient stochastic individual-based simulation model of generalised HIV epidemics developed in the context of the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial
Fig 1
Overview of the structure of the codebase of the PopART-IBM model.
A) a metapopulation structure for modelling the PopART community (inside patch) and a surrounding area (outside patch); B) within each patch the codebase is partitioned into several processes related to demographics, sexual partnerships, HIV transmission and disease progression, and interventions; C) the nature of the model being individual-based allows detailed output from the model including the complete HIV transmission network.
