By using a simulation model, we can address the probabilistic nature of disease transmission. Rather than deterministically specify a number of individuals that ...

Oct 27, 2023 · We find that a very effective NPI is only partially adhered to, whereas moderate efficacy can lead to complete adherence.

Dec 27, 2023 · Saad-Roy and Traulsen explore one reason, which the classical SIR framework ignores: Humans change their behavior during epidemics to avoid infection.

Results indicate that including adaptive human behavior significantly changes the predicted course of epidemics.

Disease transmission modelling must better account for human behaviour and social structure at multiple scales. •. Further challenges include modelling: contact ...

Panel on simulation modeling for COVID-19 · A non-homogeneous mixing model for predicting pandemic disease spread. Published with Wowchemy — the free, open ...

Aug 13, 2021 · In this paper, we reflect on our role as statisticians and epidemiologists and lay out some of the challenges that arise in measuring and communicating our ...

We study a tractable model of epidemics that incorporates social distancing and show that explicitly modeling human behavior has important consequences.
