Effective Resistance for Pandemics: Mobility Network Sparsification for High-Fidelity Epidemic Simulation

no code implementations3 Nov 2021 Alexander M. Mercier, Samuel V. Scarpino, Cristopher Moore

One way to reduce the computational cost of simulating epidemics on these networks is sparsification, where a representative subset of edges is selected based on some measure of their importance.

Stochasticity and heterogeneity in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2

1 code implementation27 May 2020 Benjamin M. Althouse, Edward A. Wenger, Joel C. Miller, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Hao Hu

SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 disease has moved rapidly around the globe, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands.

Beyond $R_0$: Heterogeneity in secondary infections and probabilistic epidemic forecasting

2 code implementations10 Feb 2020 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Benjamin M. Althouse, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard

Lastly, we demonstrate that without data on the heterogeneity in secondary infections for emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, the uncertainty in outbreak size ranges dramatically.

Interacting contagions are indistinguishable from social reinforcement

1 code implementation4 Jun 2019 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 source.

On the predictability of infectious disease outbreaks

1 code implementation21 Mar 2017 Samuel V. Scarpino, Giovanni Petri

As a result, predicting when, where, and how far diseases will spread requires a complex systems approach to modeling.
