desolve differential equations not working - r

I've written some code that has a logistic growth component (i.e. as N approaches the 'carrying capacity' it grows at a slower rate, until when it reaches the 'carrying capacity' it stops growing). However, when I run it in R it doesn't seem to be working. Some populations end up being larger than the carrying capacity. I've looked at the maths and its all OK. So I think that the problem is that dN/dt is only being calculated once for each population. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Example code below:
library('optimbase')
library('deSolve')
library('tidyverse')
K = 150000 #carrying capacity
deaths = 0.2567534 #death rate
treesize = 0.23523 #resource size
K_mat = K*ones(10, 1) #matrix of Ks
death_mat = deaths*ones(10, 1) #matrix of deathrates
tree_mat = treesize*ones(11, 1) #matrix of resources
for_mat <- matrix(rbinom(11 * 10, 1, 0.2), ncol = 11, nrow = 10) #connection
#matrix of foraging
parameters <- c(for_mat, tree_mat, death_mat, K_mat) #outline parameters
N <- runif(10,0,K)
state <- N #starting state
nestchange <- function(t, state, parameters){
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)),{
r = for_mat %*% tree_mat - death_mat
dNdt = r*N - r*N*(N/K_mat)
list(c(dNdt))
})
}
times <- seq(0,100)
out <- ode (y = state,
times = times,
func = nestchange,
parms = parameters)
results <- as.data.frame(out)
results <- gather(results, 'nest', 'N', 2:11)
ggplot(data=results,
aes(x=time, y=N, colour=nest)) +
geom_line() +
theme_bw()

Should your function actually be,
nestchange <- function(t, state, parameters){
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)),{
r <- for_mat %*% tree_mat - death_mat
dNdt <- r*state - r*state*(state/K_mat)
list(c(dNdt))
})
}
as the ODE solver is passing state to the function at each time step, yet the function is using the variable N for the calculations instead which isn't updated by the ODE solver.

Estimate the basic reproductive number(R0) of Covid-19 using the next-generation matrix(NGM)

I want to estimate the basic reproductive number(R0) of Covid-19 using the next-generation matrix method. I have a complemental model as follows:
rm(list = ls())
library(deSolve)
library(rootSolve)
pars<- c( R0=8,inter.eff=0.75,
inter.start=1,e.dur=3,i.dur=10,cfr=0.0003)
tout <- seq(1, 2, by = 1)
derivs <- function(t, state, pars){
with(as.list(c(state, pars)),{
num <- S + E + I + R# Population size
# Effective contact rate and FOI from a rearrangement of Beta * c * D
ce <- R0 / i.dur
lambda <- ce * I/num
if (!is.null(inter.eff) && t >= inter.start) {
lambda <- lambda * (1 - inter.eff)
}
dS <- -lambda*S
dE <- lambda*S - (1/e.dur)*E
dI <- (1/e.dur)*E - (1 - cfr)*(1/i.dur)*I - cfr*(1/i.dur)*I
dR <- (1 - cfr)*(1/i.dur)*I
# Compartments and flows are part of the derivative vector
# Other calculations to be output are outside the vector, but within the containing list
list(c(dS, dE, dI, dR))
})
}
And consequently, an ordinary differential system as follows:
v<-as.data.frame( ode(y = c(S=64000000,
E=1000, I=5, R=3),
times = tout, func = derivs,
parms = pars,method = "euler"))
In the next step, I want to estimate the Jacobin matrix for each row of the v.The last code I wrote for this purpose was as follows, but unfortunately, I did not get the result. So that a matrix is estimated as a whole and not for each row of the v.Please help me if possible.
v<- v[,-c(1)]#Delete time column
for (i in 1:nrow(v) ){
r<-jacobian.full(y= c(S=v[i,1], E=v[i,2], I=v[i,3],
R=v[i,4]),
func=derivs,
parms =pars,
pert = 1e-8)
}
The solution is:
`product = function(x, output){
S=x[1]
E=x[2]
I= x[3]
R=x[4]
w<-jacobian.full(y= c(S, E, I,
R),
func=derivs,
parms =pars,
pert = 1e-8)
# return product
return(as.data.frame( w))
}
single <- apply(v,1,product )`

Looping through parameters to get equilibrium with deSolve

I struggle with loops intuitively. I have a simple consumer-resource model, and I want to loop through values of resource growth rate g to get final state values to then plot equilibrium as a function of the parameter values. This is what I have so far:
param.values = seq(from = 1, to = 10, by = 1)
variable = rep(0,length(param.values))
for (i in 1:length(param.values)){
state <- c(r = 1, n = 1)
parameters = c(g = variable[i],# resource growth rate
d = 0.5, # n mortality rate
k = 5, # r carrying capacity
c = 1, # consumption rate of n on r
e = 1, # conversion efficiency for n on r
h = 1 # handling time n on r
)
function1 <- function(times, state, parameters) {
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)),{
# rate of change
dr = variable[i]*r*(1 - (r/k)) - (c*n*r/(1+(h*c*r)))
dn = (e*c*n*r/(1+(h*c*r)))- n*d
# return the rate of change
list(c(dr, dn))
})
}
times <- seq(0, 100, by = 1)
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = function1, parms = parameters)
sol <- out[101, 2:3] # trying to get last equilibrium value to plot against param values...
print(sol[i])
}
plot(sol[,1] ~ param.values)
plot(sol[,2] ~ param.values)
I think I have thinks right up until the ode function - where should I be indexing i after this? I hope this makes sense.
Your approach had several issues, so I tried to re-organize it so that it runs through. But, as your model shows a stable cycle, it does not reach an equilibrium.
Here a few hints
The loop should only contain things that change during the simulation. Fixed code segments should come before the loop. This is easier to maintain and faster.
First, run the model without the loop, to see whether it works.
Then define a data structure (matrix or data frame) to store the results.
Here one approach how it can be implemented:
library("deSolve")
## define as much as possible outside the loop
function1 <- function(times, state, parameters) {
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)),{
# rate of change
dr = g*r*(1 - (r/k)) - (c*n*r/(1+(h*c*r)))
dn = (e*c*n*r/(1+(h*c*r)))- n*d
# return the rate of change
list(c(dr, dn))
})
}
state <- c(r = 1, n = 1)
parameters = c(g = 1, # resource growth rate
d = 0.5, # n mortality rate
k = 5, # r carrying capacity
c = 1, # consumption rate of n on r
e = 1, # conversion efficiency for n on r
h = 1 # handling time n on r
)
times <- seq(0, 100, by = 1)
## first test single run of model
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = function1, parms = parameters)
plot(out)
## It runs and we see a cycling model. I suspect it has no equilibrium!
param.values = seq(from = 1, to = 10, by = 1)
## define a matrix where results can be stored
sol <- matrix(0, nrow=length(param.values), ncol=2)
for (i in 1:length(param.values)){
## replace single parameter g with new value
parameters["g"] <- param.values[i]
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = function1, parms = parameters)
## store result of last value in row of matrix.
## Note that it may not be an equilibrium
sol[i, ] <- out[101, 2:3] # trying to get last equilibrium value to plot against param values...
print(sol[i, ])
}
plot(sol[,1] ~ param.values, type="l")
plot(sol[,2] ~ param.values, type="l")
## We see that the model has no equilibrium.
There are several other ways and, as said, the model has no equilibrium. Here another model example, a so-called chemostat with equilibrium.

deSolve ODE Integration Error, am I using the wrong function?

I'm attempting to solve a set of equations related to biological processes. One equation (of about 5) is for a pharmacokinetic (PK) curve of the form C = Co(exp(k1*t)-exp(k2*t). The need is to simultaneously solve the derivative of this equation along with some enzyme binding equations and initial results where not as expected. After troubleshooting, realized that the PK derivative doesn't numerically integrate by itself, if k is negative using the desolve ode function. I've attempted every method (lsode, lsoda, etc) in the ode function, with no success. I've tried adjusting rtol, it doesn't resolve.
Is there an alternative to the deSolve ode function I should investigate? Or another way to get at this problem?
Below is the code with a simplified equation to demonstrate the problem.
When k is negative, the integrated solution does not match the analytical result.
When k is positive, results are as expected.
First Image, result with k=0.2: Analytical and Integrated results match when k is positive
Second Image, result with k=-0.2: Integrated result does not match analytical when k is negative
library(deSolve)
abi <- function(t, state, parameters) {
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)), {
dI <- k*exp(k*t)
list(c(dI))
})
}
k <- c(-0.2)
times <- seq(0, 24, by = 1)
I_analytical <- exp(k*times)
parameters <- c(k)
state <- c(I = 0)
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = abi, parms = parameters)
plot(out)
points(I_analytical ~ times)
It was pointed out that the initial condition easily resolves the above example, which is very helpful. Here is the equation I can't accurately integrate, I've tried a few different initial conditions without real success.
library(deSolve)
## Chaos in the atmosphere
CYP <- function(t, state, parameters) {
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)), {
#dE <- ksyn - (kdeg * E) + (k2 * EI) - (k1 * E * I)
#dEI <- (k1 * E * I) - (k2 * EI) + (k4 * EIstar) - (k3 * EI)
#dEIstar <- (k3 * EI) - (k4 * EIstar)
#dOcc <- dEI + dEIstar

#state <- c(E = 41, EI = 0, EIstar = 0, Occupancy = 0, I = 0.0)
state <- c(I=-0.01)
times <- seq(0, 24, by = .1)
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = CYP, parms = parameters)
I_analytical <- a*exp(tau1*times) + b*exp(tau2*times) + c*exp(tau3*times)
plot(out)
points(I_analytical ~ times)
Target curve and the ode solution line.
The initial value should be
state <- c(I= a + b + c)
#state <- c(I = 1)
The first script contains several issues. The most important two are that (1) the model function (abi) must contain the derivative, not an integrated function, while (2) the analytically integrated model missed I_0 that results from the integration constant.
Let's assume a first order decay model
dI/dt = k I
then analytical integration yields
I_t = I_0 exp(kt)
The code is then:
library(deSolve)
abi <- function(t, state, parameters) {
with(as.list(c(state, parameters)), {
# dI <- k*exp(k*t) # original
dI <- k * I # corrected, should be the dervivative
list(c(dI))
})
}
k <- -0.2 # simplified, c() was not necessary
times <- seq(0, 24, by = 1)
# correction: set I0 to a value > zero
I0 <- 10
# I_analytical <- exp(k*times) # original
I_analytical <- I0 * exp(k*times) # corrected, multiplied with I0
#state <- c(I = 0) # original
state <- c(I = I0) # corrected
parameters <- c(k = k)
out <- ode(y = state, times = times, func = abi, parms = parameters)
plot(out)
points(I_analytical ~ times)
This code can be further simplified if you want.

R deSolve: how are arguments en thus parameters interpreted?

I'm building predator-prey models based on Lotka-Volterra derivatives in R using package deSolve. I define parameters, initial state and timesteps and the model function. Then I solve everyting using ode() or dede() when using a time lag.
I noticed there's a big difference in output depending on how you define the parameters WITHIN the model function and I really don't understand why. You can extract the parameters either by calling them via the argument: parms['r'], or via the previously defined object I passed to the argument: parameters['r']. Same result in both cases.
This is different voor the initial state though: calling the argument: y[1] or y['N'], gives a totally different result than calling it via the object passed to the argument: init[1] or init['N'].
Also in the DDE: there's a difference in time - tau vs times - tau and ylag <- y vs ylag <- init.
Why is there a different result for argument vs object for the initial state and time and not for the parameters? I need to comprehend this well in order to use the FME package in a later stage, so I hope someone can explain this behaviour.
My code:
library(deSolve)
## Parameters
parameters <- c(r = 0.25, K = 200, a = 0.01, c = 0.01, m = 1, tau = 7)
init <- c(N = 20, P = 2)
time <- seq(0, 100, by = 0.01)
## Ordinary DE
PreyPred <- function(times, y, parms){ #chose same argument names as ode()
N <- y['N'] #y[1] works as well
P <- y['P']
#N <- init['N'] #(or init[1]) gives a totally different result!
#P <- init['P']
r <- parms['r'] #growth rate prey parameters['r'] gives same result
K <- parms['K'] #carrying capacity prey
a <- parms['a'] #attack rate predator
c <- parms['c'] #assimilation rate (?) predator
m <- parms['m'] #mortality predator
dN <- r * N * (1-N/K) - a * N * P
dP <- c * N * P - m * P
return(list(c(dN, dP)))
}
oderesult <- ode(func = PreyPred, parms = parameters, y = init, times = time)
plot(oderesult, lwd = 2, mfrow = c(1,2))
## Delayed DE
PreyPredLag <- function(times, y, parms){
N <- y['N']
P <- y['P']
#N <- init['N']
#P <- init['P']
r <- parms['r'] #growth rate prey
K <- parms['K'] #carrying capacity prey
a <- parms['a'] #attack rate predator
c <- parms['c'] #assimilation rate (?) predator
m <- parms['m'] #mortality predator
tau <- parms['tau'] #time lag
tlag <- times - tau
#tlag <- time - tau #different result
if (tlag < 0)
ylag <- y
#ylag <- init
else
ylag <- lagvalue(tlag)
# dede
dN <- r * N * (1-N/K) - a * N * P
dP <- c * ylag[1] * ylag[2] - m * P
return(list(c(dN, dP), lag = ylag))
}
dederesult <- dede(func = PreyPredLag, parms = parameters, y = init, times = time)
plot(dederesult, lwd = 2, mfrow = c(2,2))
The observed behavior is correct. A short explanation:
'parms' is the local variable in the model function, while 'parameters' the global variable in the workspace. This is nothing special for deSolve, it is the general way how R works. The in most cases preferred way is to use the local variable.
For the states, this is indeed different. here the outer value 'init' is the initial value at the beginning, while the local 'y' is the current value for the time step.
The dede parameters are analogous. init is the start, y the instantaneous value, times is the global vector of all time steps and time the actual time step.

How to program a differential equation of form dy/dt = f(t,y) (i.e. time is in differential equation) in R?

I am trying to simulate a model with this differential equation for concentration A:
dA/dt = (a-b)*exp^(d*(s-t))
(The equations has parameters: a, b, d, and s.) I can not figure out how to use R to solve differential equations that have a t (time step) variable? I tried it with the function radau of the package deSolve (See beneath). I did not get the code to work. I also do not understand how to define the index variable? Or if this is solvable with this function at all? (All my other simpler differential equations I have ran in the past with the ode function of deSolve, worked fine).
I hope you can help me!
My try:
#Defining parameters
parameter <- c(a=0.03, b=0.02, d=0.01, s=179)
#Defining Function
Function1 <- function(t, y, parameter) { with (as.list(Y),
list(c(dA = (a-b)*exp^(d*(s-t)))))}
#Initial conditions
yini <- c(A=1)
#Mass matrix
M <- diag(nrow=1)
M[5,5] <- 0
M
#index/times/output
index <- c(1)
times <- seq(from = 0, to = 10, by = 0.01)
out <- radau(y = yini, func = Function1, parms = parameters, times = times, mass = M, nind = index)
plot(out, type = "l", lwd = 2)
I'm not sure what's up with M or index as they don't appear in your model, but here's code that runs and produces results based on your code.
#Defining parameters
parameter <- c(a=0.03, b=0.02, d=0.01, s=179)
#Defining Function
model <- function(t, y, parameter) {
with(as.list(parameter),{
dA <- (a - b) * exp(d * (s - t))
list(dA)
})
}
#Initial conditions
yini <- 1
# Output times
times <- seq(from = 0, to = 10, by = 0.01)
# Solve model
out <- ode(y = yini, func = model, parms = parameter, times = times)
# Plot results
plot(out, type = "l", lwd = 2)
