摘要

The high quality of simulation systems depends on precise input parameters. The underlying population model is crucial for an agent-based simulation system that studies the spread of infectious diseases. To build the population model, the system requires a household structure (HSD) of the simulated area, including a household list with recorded age information for each member. Previous research has shown that changes in household structure significantly impact disease-spreading patterns. However, with the increasing frequency of severe infectious diseases like SARS (the year 2002), H1N1 (the year 2009), and COVID-19 (the year 2019), using outdated HSD data is inappropriate. This paper proposes a Monte-Carlo-based approach to approximate the HSD for a given year using aggregated information from a range of years. The validation of our algorithm shows good matches with different diseases. As a result, we obtained an HSD for 2020 to study the spread of new COVID-19 variants and future outbreaks.
