Epidemics
Research results from Indiana University update understanding of epidemics
Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, August 31st, 2010
A new study, 'Comparing large-scale computational approaches to epidemic modeling: agent-based versus structured metapopulation models,' is now available. According to a study from the United States, "In recent years large-scale computational models for the realistic simulation of epidemic outbreaks have been used with increased frequency. Methodologies adapt to the scale of interest and range from very detailed agent-based models to spatially-structured metapopulation models."
"One major issue thus concerns to what extent the geotemporal spreading pattern found by different modeling approaches may differ and depend on the different approximations and assumptions used....
