Editor’s Pick – Analyzing the Impact of Modeling Choices and Assumptions in Compartmental Epidemiological Models
Özgür Özmen2 , James J. Nutaro1 , Laura L. Pullman1 , and Arvind Ramanathan2 , Abstract Computational disease spread models can be broadly classified into differential equation-based (EBM) and agent-based models (ABM). We examine these models in the context of illuminating their hidden assumptions […]
