Desired sample size N is a hyper parameter of the method, along with all the other rejection criterions, which we apply in the following order
In order:
- Stratify N by age-groups and regions: N_{a, r}, where a is age-group index and r is region / cell index.
- Rate of non-responders: N_{a, r} -> \phi * N_{a, r} (can be N_{a, r} -> \phi_{a} * N_{a, r} if \phi is age-dependent)
- Variant effect on False negative \nu: N_{a, r} -> \nu * N_{a, r}
- Effect of infectiousness profile
- Household limit criterion; reject until criterion met, using rejection sampling on the individual IDs using their demographic data.
- Apply same sample vs different sample at each timestep:
