socialmixr
is an R package to derive social mixing matrices from
survey data.
The package can be installed using
install.packages("socialmixr")The current development version can be installed using the
remotes package
remotes::install_github("epiforecasts/socialmixr")Contact matrices are computed through a small pipeline of composable functions: subsetting the survey, assigning age groups, optionally weighing participants, and computing the matrix. A minimal example using the included POLYMOD data:
library(socialmixr)
data(polymod)
polymod[country == "United Kingdom"] |>
assign_age_groups(age_limits = c(0, 1, 5, 15)) |>
compute_matrix()Post-processing functions symmetrise(),
split_matrix() and per_capita() can be piped
after compute_matrix() to enforce symmetry, decompose the
matrix, or convert to per-capita contact rates.
For more on how to use the socialmixr package, see the introduction vignette.
