Then, from time t = b + 1 week and subsequent time increments, inoperability level is calculated using DIIM as follows: 7 q DIIM ( b + 1 ) = q ( b ) + K ( A ∗ q ( b ) + c ∗ ( b ) - q ( b ) ) In the case where the new perturbation leads to the improvement of the economic sectors, the inoperability level follows a decreasing trend that could be modeled by linking the inoperability at time t to the inoperability level at time t − 1.
