Abstract:
In
order to estimate the patterns of movement, interaction with public spaces and
potential risk of exposure to COVID-19, we need a detailed dataset containing
individuals, their characteristics and there geographical location. These
individuals are used in other models within the DECOVID ecosystem. We use
spatial microsimulation techniques to generate the baseline population of
individuals and an algorithm for assigning individuals to household to provide
estimates at Middle Super Output area level. Further attributes are added to
this population, derived from survey data using propensity score matching. We
assess the spatial distribution of these populations and the daily activity
spaces they inhabit.
