Integrating adaptive human behavior into epidemic models with large language models
Yicheng Mao, Haoyang Li, Rob Deardon +1
Infectious disease transmission is shaped by patterns of human interaction, which adapt as epidemic conditions change. Capturing these context-dependent behaviors remains a fundame…
Heterogeneous behavioral mechanisms in epidemiological models
Jessica Pavani, Rob Deardon, Alexandra M. Schmidt
Traditional epidemic models frequently assume behavioral homogeneity. The susceptible-infected-recovered model provides a robust foundation for characterizing disease transmission,…
Neural Posterior Estimation for Spatial Individual-Level Epidemic Models
Yicheng Mao, Rob Deardon
Spatial individual-level models (ILMs) provide a flexible framework for modeling infectious disease transmission across populations with known locations. Bayesian inference for the…
Hidden Markov Individual-level Models of Infectious Disease Transmission
Dirk Douwes-Schultz, Rob Deardon, Alexandra M. Schmidt
Individual-level epidemic models are increasingly being used to help understand the transmission dynamics of various infectious diseases. However, fitting such models to individual…
