What This Code Does

This code takes a set of input parameters and uses them in infectious disease models (SIR & SEIR). Model output is used to calculate useful metrics for each day of an epidemic, such as the number of hospitalizations.

Getting Started

  • Download COVID_19.sas to your SAS environment
  • Edit line 4 to a local directory you want to save datasets with model output and scenario information to
  • If you do not have SAS/ETS then edit line 15 to 'NO'
    • This option causes the SIR/SEIR models to run with a SAS Data Step version only
  • If you have the latest analytical release of SAS, 15.1, then set line 16 to YES
    • This option swaps out PROC MODEL for PROC TMODEL
  • Make calls to the macro %EasyRun. Examples scenarios are at the end of the file.
    • The last parameter for the macro calls is plots=YES. This triggers basic SGPLOT output to visually review.
  • All model output for each call to %EasyRun saves in the dataset STORE.MODEL_FINAL
  • All of the parameters that lead to the results in STORE.MODEL_FINAL save in STORE.SCENARIOS. The variable SCENARIOINDEX links these two files.
