Epidemic control using stochastic and deterministic transmission models: performance comparison with and without parameter uncertainties

Autor: Julien Flaig, Nicolas Houy

BackgroundThe spread of infectious diseases can be modeled using deterministic models assuming a continuous population or stochastic models assuming a discrete population. A stochastic model can be approximated by its deterministic counterpart under

We argue that a proper distinction must be made between informed and uninformed decision making when setting empirical therapy policies, as this allows one to estimate the value of gathering more information about the pathogens and their transmission

Background and objectives: Empirical antimicrobial prescription strategies have been proposed to counteract the selection of resistant pathogenic strains. The respective merits of such strategies have been debated. Rather than comparing a finite numb

In a vaccination game, individuals respond to an epidemic by engaging in preventive behaviors that, in turn, influence the course of the epidemic. Such feedback loops need to be considered in the cost effectiveness evaluations of public health polici

In Schelling’s segregation model (Schelling, 1971), the successive moves of agents optimizing their own locations lead to a suboptimal segregated distribution of the population, even though all agents have the same preference for mixed neighborhood
