Overview

What are model presets?

Model presets are built-in compartmental epidemic models that you can use without defining compartments or transitions yourself. Each preset comes with a set of compartments, default parameters, and transition rules.

You can list all available presets:

Available presets

PresetCompartmentsUse when
SIRS, I, RYou want the simplest possible epidemic model with permanent immunity.
SEIRS, E, I, RYou need a latent (exposed-but-not-yet-infectious) period before infectiousness.
SISS, IRecovered individuals return to the susceptible pool with no lasting immunity (e.g. many bacterial infections).
V-SEIHR10 (S/E/I/H/R × unvaccinated/vaccinated)You want SEIR with explicit hospitalization, a vaccinated branch, and a vaccination rollout via the vaccination block.

If none of these fit, you can declare compartments and transitions yourself. See Custom Models.
