Regional factors determine the feasibility of an elimination strategy
George Adu-Boahen, Troy Day, Michael J Plank +1
We provide an explicit mathematical characterization of regional characteristics and the resulting epidemiology to evaluate whether elimination or suppression is feasible using tar…
When do trajectories matter? Identifiability analysis for stochastic transport phenomena
Matthew J Simpson, Michael J Plank
Stochastic models of diffusion are routinely used to study dispersal of populations, including populations of animals, plants, seeds and cells. Advances in imaging and field measur…
Continuum models describing probabilistic motion of tagged agents in exclusion processes
Michael J. Plank, Matthew J. Simpson
Lattice-based random walk models are widely used to study populations of migrating cells with motility bias and proliferation. Crowding is typically represented by volume exclusion…
A nonparametric approach to practical identifiability of nonlinear mixed effects models
Tyler Cassidy, Stuart T. Johnston, Michael Plank +4
Mathematical modelling is a widely used approach to understand and interpret clinical trial data. This modelling typically involves fitting mechanistic mathematical models to data…
Ethical considerations in infectious disease modelling for public health policy: the case of school closures
Diego S. Silva, Sara Y. Del Valle, Michael J. Plank
Mathematical models of infectious diseases are frequently used as a tool to support public health policy and decisions around implementation of interventions such as school closure…
