Transmission lines for fifth (custom) geographic unit

Help and Getting Started
1

Hi, everybody! I’m trying to see transmission lines between 6 specific divisions.
To do it, I created new geographical unit: aboveregion, to separate them from other units. So, now I have: aboveregion, region, country, division, location.
As well I added two additional columns (aboveregion; aboveregion_exposure) in my metadata file and assigned the values from division columns to them.
I added the coordinates of my divisions of interest in lat_long file, modified auspice_config.json file:

“geo_resolutions”: [“location”, “division”, “country”, “region”,“aboveregion”],

and

“filters”: [
“recency”,
“aboveregion”,
“region”,
“country”,
“division”,
“location”,
“host”,
“author”
],

Here is my build.yaml:

traits:
default:
sampling_bias_correction: 2.5
columns: [“aboveregion_exposure”]

exposure:
default:
trait: “aboveregion”
exposure: “aboveregion_exposure”

But still I have the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./scripts/modify-tree-according-to-exposure.py”, line 141, in
traverse(input_json[“tree”], switch_attribute)
File “./scripts/modify-tree-according-to-exposure.py”, line 10, in traverse

raise Exception(“Where there’s SAMPLING_TRAIT we should always have EXPOSURE_TRAIT”)
Exception: Where there’s SAMPLING_TRAIT we should always have EXPOSURE_TRAIT

When I add this line in my build.yaml:

skip_travel_history_adjustment: True

I don’t have the error, but I don’t have transmission lines as well.

Unfortunately, the solution from transmission lines for divisions didn’t help me.

Thank you,
Dmitrii

Hi @qwerty123 - this is a good reminder for us to remove the modify-tree-according-to-exposure.py which we’ve been planning to do. In the meantime, setting skip_travel_history_adjustment: True is correct, but the traits section of the YAML should look like:

traits:
  default:
     sampling_bias_correction: 2.5
     columns: [“aboveregion”]

Please let us know if this doesn’t fix things…
