Table 1 Relative incidence vector (\(\textbf{w}_1)\) and infectivity data (diagonal entries of H) for each age group related to the population residing in Portugal. Values for the q-susceptibility parameter (diagonal entries of \(\alpha =qA)\) were estimated via a method presented in the supplementary material.
