Cascading Failures in Power Grids
Rounak Meyur
This paper studies the consequences of a human-initiated targeted attack on the national electric power system. We consider two kinds of attacks: () an attack by an adversary th…
Perturbative methods for mostly monotonic probabilistic satisfiability problems
Stephen Eubank, Madhurima Nath, Yihui Ren +1
The probabilistic satisfiability of a logical expression is a fundamental concept known as the partition function in statistical physics and field theory, an evaluation of a relate…
Crowdsourcing County-Level Data on Early COVID-19 Policy Interventions in the United States: Technical Report
Jacob Ritchie, Mark Whiting, Sorathan Chaturapruek +5
Beginning in April 2020, we gathered partial county-level data on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, usi…
Model selection for sequential designs in discrete finite systems using Bernstein kernels
Madhurima Nath, Stephen Eubank
We view sequential design as a model selection problem to determine which new observation is expected to be the most informative, given the existing set of observations. For estima…
From Network Reliability to the Ising Model: A Parallel Scheme for Estimating the Joint Density of States
Yihui Ren, Stephen Eubank, Madhurima Nath
Network reliability is the probability that a dynamical system composed of discrete elements interacting on a network will be found in a configuration that satisfies a particular p…
The Potential Impact of Increased Hospital Capacity to Contain and Control Ebola in Liberia
Eric T. Lofgren, Caitlin M. Rivers, Madhav V. Marathe +2
West Africa is currently experiencing a severe outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD). As part of the international effort to address this outbreak, the United States has committed…
Modeling the Impact of Interventions on an Epidemic of Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia
Caitlin M. Rivers, Eric T. Lofgren, Madhav Marathe +2
An Ebola outbreak of unparalleled size is currently affecting several countries in West Africa, and international efforts to control the outbreak are underway. However, the efficac…
Analyzing Network Reliability Using Structural Motifs
Yasamin Khorramzadeh, Mina Youssef, Stephen Eubank +1
This paper uses the reliability polynomial, introduced by Moore and Shannon in 1956, to analyze the effect of network structure on diffusive dynamics such as the spread of infectio…
An agent-based epidemiological model of incarceration
Kristian Lum, Samarth Swarup, Stephen Eubank +1
We build an agent-based model of incarceration based on the SIS model of infectious disease propagation. Our central hypothesis is that the observed racial disparities in incarcera…
Network Reliability: The effect of local network structure on diffusive processes
Mina Youssef, Yasamin Khorramzadeh, Stephen Eubank
This paper re-introduces the network reliability polynomial - introduced by Moore and Shannon in 1956 -- for studying the effect of network structure on the spread of diseases. We…
Don't bleach chaotic data
James Theiler, Stephen Eubank
A common first step in time series signal analysis involves digitally filtering the data to remove linear correlations. The residual data is spectrally white (it is ``bleached''),…
