Hierarchical and Upstream-Downstream Composition of Stock and Flow Models
Nicholas Meadows, Xiaoyan Li, Nathaniel D Osgood
The growing complexity of decision-making in public health and health care has motivated an increasing use of mathematical modeling. An important line of health modeling is based o…
Agent-Based Modeling and its Tradeoffs: An Introduction & Examples
G. Wade McDonald, Nathaniel D. Osgood
Agent-based modeling is a computational dynamic modeling technique that may be less familiar to some readers. Agent-based modeling seeks to understand the behaviour of complex syst…
A Categorical Framework for Modeling with Stock and Flow Diagrams
John C. Baez, Xiaoyan Li, Sophie Libkind +2
Stock and flow diagrams are already an important tool in epidemiology, but category theory lets us go further and treat these diagrams as mathematical entities in their own right.…
Compositional Modeling with Stock and Flow Diagrams
John Baez, Xiaoyan Li, Sophie Libkind +2
Stock and flow diagrams are widely used in epidemiology to model the dynamics of populations. Although tools already exist for building these diagrams and simulating the systems th…
DNA Methylation Data to Predict Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Deaths: A Machine Learning Approach
Rifat Zahan, Ian McQuillan, Nathaniel D. Osgood
The objective of this study is to predict suicidal and non-suicidal deaths from DNA methylation data using a modern machine learning algorithm. We used support vector machines to c…
Effect of E-cigarette Use and Social Network on Smoking Behavior Change: An agent-based model of E-cigarette and Cigarette Interaction
Yang Qin, Rojiemiahd Edjoc, Nathaniel D Osgood
Despite a general reduction in smoking in many areas of the developed world, it remains one of the biggest public health threats. As an alternative to tobacco, the use of electroni…
