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 modelling infectious disease transmission across populations with known locations. Bayesian inference for th…
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…
Bayesian compartmental modelling of MRSA transmission within hospitals in Edmonton, Canada
Ruoyu Li, Rob Deardon, Na Li +2
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that leads to severe infections in hospitalized patients. Previous epidemiological research has focused on MRSA tr…
