Erratum reports discrepancies in socioeconomic variables integration in epidemic models, indicating necessary corrections.
The original version of the Research Article, “Generalized contact matrices allow integrating socioeconomic variables into epidemic models” by A. Manna et al., contained discrepancies between the text and the insets of Figs. 2, 3, and 4 in the main text and figs. S2, S4, S5, and S6 in the Supplementary Materials. The main text stated the insets compared the three outcomes for a fixed value of R0 (R0 = 2.7). However, the authors had fixed the value of the transmissibility of the disease instead of R0. Although the insets were correct, they did not correspond to what was written in the text. Edits have been made to the main text in the Results section to better reflect the relative position of peaks in the corrected figures. Additionally, due to an error in the pre-processing workflow, an earlier version of the preprocessed data was mistakenly used in Fig. 4 (A to C). The x-axis range in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 in the main text and figs. S2, S4, S5, and S6 in the Supplementary Materials have been updated to make the plots more visible.
