Parameter | Description | Minimum | Peak | Maximum |
---|---|---|---|---|
i0 | Initial copy number | 1 | 30 | |
N | Population size | 1,000 | 1,000,000 | |
R0,0 | Basic reproductive value | 1 | 10 | |
ν | Progression rate | 0.0026 | 0.0053 | |
p | Immediate progression | 0 | 0.05 | 0.3 |
μ | Nondisease death rate | 0.0133 | 0.04 | |
μT | Disease death rate | 0.0580 | 0.139 | 0.461 |
φ | Recovery rate | 0.021 | 0.058 | 0.086 |
h | Horizontal transfer rate | 0 | 0.001 | |
ω1 | Transposition rate | 0.005 | 0.02 | |
γ | Copy increase | 0.4 | 0.65 | |
c | Cost per element | 0 | 0.002 |
The parameters i0 and N were chosen from discrete uniform distributions; p, μT, and φ had triangular distributions (described in text: see Eq. 6); the remainder were chosen from continuous uniform distributions.
