Deterministic construction of typical networks in network models
Narayan G. Sabhahit, Moritz Laber, Harrison Hartle +4
In network science, one often wants to say that a given real-world network appears to come from a particular network model. In statistical physics, the corresponding problem is abo…
Spatial scales of COVID-19 transmission in Mexico
Brennan Klein, Harrison Hartle, Munik Shrestha +13
During outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases, internationally connected cities often experience large and early outbreaks, while rural regions follow after some delay. This hie…
Characterizing collective physical distancing in the U.S. during the first nine months of the COVID-19 pandemic
Brennan Klein, Timothy LaRock, Stefan McCabe +13
The COVID-19 pandemic offers an unprecedented natural experiment providing insights into the emergence of collective behavioral changes of both exogenous (government mandated) and…
The role of directionality, heterogeneity and correlations in epidemic risk and spread
Antoine Allard, Cristopher Moore, Samuel V. Scarpino +2
Most models of epidemic spread, including many designed specifically for COVID-19, implicitly assume mass-action contact patterns and undirected contact networks, meaning that the…
Interacting contagions are indistinguishable from social reinforcement
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Samuel V. Scarpino, Jean-Gabriel Young
From fake news to innovative technologies, many contagions spread via a process of social reinforcement, where multiple exposures are distinct from prolonged exposure to a single s…
The Interhospital Transfer Network for Very Low Birth Weight Infants in the United States
Munik Shrestha, Samuel V. Scarpino, Erika M. Edwards +2
Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants require specialized care in neonatal intensive care units. In the United States (U.S.), such infants frequently are transferred between hospita…
On the predictability of infectious disease outbreaks
Samuel V. Scarpino, Giovanni Petri
Infectious disease outbreaks recapitulate biology: they emerge from the multi-level interaction of hosts, pathogens, and their shared environment. As a result, predicting when, whe…
Asymmetric percolation drives a double transition in sexual contact networks
Antoine Allard, Benjamin M. Althouse, Samuel V. Scarpino +1
Zika virus (ZIKV) exhibits unique transmission dynamics in that it is concurrently spread by a mosquito vector and through sexual contact. We show that this sexual component of ZIK…
A message-passing approach for recurrent-state epidemic models on networks
Munik Shrestha, Samuel V. Scarpino, Cristopher Moore
Epidemic processes are common out-of-equilibrium phenomena of broad interdisciplinary interest. Recently, dynamic message-passing (DMP) has been proposed as an efficient algorithm…
