  2. Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_modelling_of...

    The modelling can help decide which intervention(s) to avoid and which to trial, or can predict future growth patterns, etc. History. [edit] The modelling of infectious diseases is a tool that has been used to study the mechanisms by which diseases spread, to predict the future course of an outbreak and to evaluate strategies to control an ...

  3. List of COVID-19 simulation models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_COVID-19...

    COVID-19 simulation models are mathematical infectious disease models for the spread of COVID-19. [1] The list should not be confused with COVID-19 apps used mainly for digital contact tracing . Note that some of the applications listed are website-only models or simulators, and some of those rely on (or use) real-time data from other sources.

  4. Compartmental models in epidemiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmental_models_in...

    Compartmental models in epidemiology. Compartmental models are a very general modelling technique. They are often applied to the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. The population is assigned to compartments with labels – for example, S, I, or R, (S usceptible, I nfectious, or R ecovered). People may progress between compartments.

  5. Reed–Frost model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed–Frost_model

    The Reed–Frost model is a mathematical model of epidemics put forth in the 1920s by Lowell Reed and Wade Hampton Frost, of Johns Hopkins University. [1] [2] While originally presented in a talk by Frost in 1928 and used in courses at Hopkins for two decades, the mathematical formulation was not published until the 1950s, when it was also made into a TV episode.

  6. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    For example, a simulation of an epidemic could change the number of infected people at time instants when susceptible individuals get infected or when infected individuals recover. Stochastic simulation is a simulation where some variable or process is subject to random variations and is projected using Monte Carlo techniques using pseudo ...

  7. Epidemic models on lattices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic_models_on_lattices

    Epidemic models on lattices. Spatial SIR model simulation. Each cell can infect its eight immediate neighbors. Classic epidemic models of disease transmission are described in Compartmental models in epidemiology. Here we discuss the behavior when such models are simulated on a lattice. Lattice models, which were first explored in the context ...

  8. Epidemic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic_curve

    Epidemic curve. An epidemic curve, also known as an epi curve or epidemiological curve, is a statistical chart used in epidemiology to visualise the onset of a disease outbreak. It can help with the identification of the mode of transmission of the disease. It can also show the disease's magnitude, whether cases are clustered or if there are ...
