Total contact rate and assortativity predict time-to-elimination. The top row shows two contact features by age group in 34 countries: total contact rate, defined as the average total daily contacts in the age group (A), and assortativity, defined as the fraction of within-age group contact (B). The data points from Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States are highlighted as examples. The bottom row shows the correlation between time-to-elimination and standardized contact rate (x-axis) by standardized assortativity (color scale) in children under 5 in the simulated data (C) and the generalized linear model (D).
