On the Identifiability of Transmission Dynamic Models for Infectious Diseases.
Understanding the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases is important for both biological research and public health applications. It has been widely demonstrated that statistical modeling provides a firm basis for inferring relevant epidemiological quantities from incidence and molecular data. However, the complexity of transmission dynamic models presents two challenges: (1) the likelih...
متن کاملAgent Based Systems for Prediction and Prevention of Infectious diseases
With new emerging and re emerging diseases a proper public health care system has been mandatory in developing and developed countries.The outbreak of disease also occurs in the form of Bioterrorism, a word that has become significant in recent years.It implies the need of predictive tools for the risk assessment and formulation of health policies.The multiagent based system has become popular ...
متن کاملDISI - University of Trento New – generation individual based models for infectious diseases transmission
Mathematical models are powerful tools for simulating plausible epidemic spread scenarios and for evaluating the impact of control policies. They represent the scientific basis on which public health policy makers should take their decisions on the intervention strategies that should be performed at local, national and international scale. In this context, Individual-Based simulation Models (IB...
متن کاملNetwork-based models of transmission of infectious diseases: a brief overview∗
The main purpose of this document is to give a brief but mathematically rigorous description of the network-based models of transmission of infectious diseases that are studied on this web site1. Readers will be able to find a much more detailed development of this material in our book chapters [5, 6]. We also briefly describe how the network-based models that are defined here are related to co...
متن کاملSimulation of Infectious Diseases Using Agent-Based Versus System Dynamics Models
System dynamics and agent-based modeling are two approaches used in simulation experiments. In this paper, we implement a system dynamics model for infectious diseases (SIR model) using Causal Block Diagrams (CBD) and develop an agent-based model based on statecharts. Our agent-based modeling approach produces similar results to the system dynamics approach. We discuss in detail how this simila...
