From Individual-Based Stochastic Epidemics to Heterogeneous SIR Equations
Olga Izyumtseva, Wasiur R. KhudaBukhsh, M. Gabriela M. Gomes +1
We develop a stochastic framework for a broad class of heterogeneous SIR epidemic models. In the finite-population construction, each initially susceptible individual is assigned a…
The impact of nonheritable variation in division rates on population growth across environments
John A. Mackenzie, Adam Hillman, M. Gabriela M. Gomes
Phenotypic heterogeneity is a pervasive feature of biological populations, yet its impact on population growth is often interpreted through changes in mean individual fitness alone…
On the simultaneous inference of susceptibility distributions and intervention effects from epidemic curves
Ibrahim Mohammed, Chris Robertson, M. Gabriela M. Gomes
Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) models with inter-individual variation in susceptibility or exposure to infection were proposed early in the COVID-19 pandemic as a…
A note on metapopulation models
Diepreye Ayabina, Hasan Sevil, Adam Kleczkowski +1
Metapopulation models are commonly used in ecology, evolution, and epidemiology. These models usually entail homogeneity assumptions within patches and study networks of migration…
