Epidemic predictions in an imperfect world: modelling disease spread with partial data
'Big-data' epidemic models are being increasingly used to influence government policy to help with control and eradication of infectious diseases. In the case of livestock, detailed movement records have been used to parametrize realistic transmission models. While livestock movement data are readily available in the UK and other countries in the EU, in many countries around the world, such det...
متن کاملImperfect Data in an Uncertain World
Bayesian analysis and modeling, in which uncertainties are quantified in terms of probability, offers an alternative approach to understanding in meteorological applications. The underlying principle, practiced in fields like archaeology and geology, is the accumulation of evidence. The approach provides a mathematical rule to update existing beliefs in light of new evidence. It requires the da...
متن کاملModelling the spread of AIDS epidemic with vertical transmission
This paper considers a non-linear mathematical model for HIV epidemic that spreads in a variable size population through both horizontal and vertical transmission. The equilibrium points of the model system are found and their stability is investigated. The model exhibits two equilibria namely, the disease-free and the endemic equilibrium. It is found that if the basic reproduction number R0 < ...
متن کاملMedication trials in an imperfect world: gout and Parkinson's disease.
MEDICINE & HEALTH/RHODE ISLAND drug that may induce gout and all its complications to be prescribed for people with PD? Will people with PD be willing to take a drug that may cause gout? At the initial meeting of site investigators, I asked the group who had made the observations about urate levels and PD, and who had designed this trial, if any of them had ever had a kidney stone. No one in th...
متن کاملModelling an Imperfect Market
We propose a simple market model where agents trade different types of products with each other by using money, relying only on local information. Value fluctuations of single products, combined with the condition of maximum profit in transactions, readily lead to persistent fluctuations in the wealth of individual agents.
