Qualitative-Numeric Simulation with Q3

13 task by allowing intervals to be given as values of the input parameters, and generating the plausible behaviors. A similar application in engineering relates to necessary tolerances of various model parameters. Simply simulating many times with dierent combinations of plausible model parameter values, as in Monte Carlo simulation, is likely to be tedious, perhaps impractical, and could also...

Qualitative-Numeric Simulation with Q3

1 Overview A simulation contains a sequence of predicted states of a modeled system. A qualitative-numeric simulation is one containing both qualitative and quantitative state information, such that the qualitative information alone would be a qualitative simulation, and the quantitative information alone would be a numerical simulation. Qualitative-numeric simulation is thus a generalization o...

Outbreaks of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and Seasonal Influenza A (H3N2) on Cruise Ship

To determine the extent and pattern of influenza transmission and effectiveness of containment measures, we investigated dual outbreaks of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and influenza A (H3N2) that had occurred on a cruise ship in May 2009. Of 1,970 passengers and 734 crew members, 82 (3.0%) were infected with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus, 98 (3.6%) with influenza A (H3N2) virus, and 2 (0.1%) with both. Am...
