摘要: A model is presented of the spread influenza into and within a nursing home. To use this for studies involving surveillance vaccine efficacy, it necessary to estimate optimal ranges group parameters. Attempts do so by manual methods proved unsatisfactory. Initial in previous three papers series led points that were also However, noting which parameters placed at outer surface chosen hypervolume, was possible choose new select an point hyperspace satisfied epidemiologically preselected characteristics.
