Prem, Kiesha R. Cook, Alex Jit, Mark Age-specific contact patterns by location. <p>The age-specific contact patterns at home (panels a–c), at the workplace (panels d–f), in school (panels g–i) and at other locations (panels j–l) are projected from the model. The contact pattern at all locations (panels m–o) is the sum across the four locations (home, work, school and others). Contact matrices for Bolivia (DHS country; in panels b,e,h,k) and South Africa (ROW country; in panels c,f,i,l) were projected and the age-specific mean contact rates for Germany (part of the POLYMOD; in panels a,d,g,j) were estimated from the German contact data. A comparison between the German empirical and modelled estimates can be found in the <b><a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005697#pcbi.1005697.s001" target="_blank">S1 Text</a></b>.
