Micro-simulation of a smallpox outbreak using official register data.
To explore the efficacy of four vaccine-based policy strategies (ring vaccination, targeted vaccination, mass vaccination, and pre-vaccination of healthcare personnel combined with ring vaccination) for controlling smallpox outbreaks in Sweden, disease transmission on a spatially explicit social network was simulated. The mixing network was formed from high-coverage official register data of th...
متن کاملSimulation of Micro-Channel and Micro-Orifice Flow Using Lattice Boltzmann Method with Langmuir Slip Model
Because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. The slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. The most used slip boundary condition is the Maxwell slip model. The results of Maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...
متن کاملOptimal resource allocation response to a smallpox outbreak
Infectious disease outbreaks, caused by nature or bioterrorism, are unfortunately very real threats to the general population. Planning an effective response to an infectious disease outbreak requires a coordinated effort in multiple locations to best allocate the limited resources. This decision problem is further complicated by the non-linear nature of disease propagation and the fact that ou...
متن کاملOfficial Statistics Data Integration Using Copulas
The aim of this paper is to propose a novel approach to integrate financial information, incorporating the dependence structure among the variables. The approach is based on two types of graphical models: vines and non parametric Bayesian belief nets (NPBBNs). Vines are undirected graphs, representing pair copula constructions, which are used to model the dependence structure of a set of variab...
متن کاملTransmission potential of smallpox: estimates based on detailed data from an outbreak.
Recent discussions on the use of variola virus by bioterrorists have rekindled interest in the parameters that govern the transmissibility of smallpox. Here, the authors estimate by maximum likelihood the parameters of the spread of smallpox from historical data on an epidemic in 1967 in the town of Abakaliki, Nigeria, afflicting a religious group that refused vaccination. According to the auth...
