Considerations in the design of Vivarium models

The purpose of this page is to document information that is relevant to designing Vivarium simulation models as a whole, rather than information specific to particular sub-components of Vivarium simulations. Topics may be added as they are encountered.

• Accounting for Baseline Coverage of the Intervention
• Burn-in Periods
• Choosing an Appropriate Time Step
• Open vs. Closed Vivarium Cohorts (Fertility)
• Double Counting Issues
• Utilizing the Interactive Simulation
• Designing a Minimum Viable Model
• The Vivarium Modeling Workflow
• Vivarium Verification and Validation (V&V) and Results Processing
• Uncertainty in Vivarium
