Analysis, Online Estimation, and Validation of a Competing Virus Model
In this paper we introduce a discrete time competing virus model and the assumptions necessary for the model to be well posed. We analyze the system exploring its different equilibria. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the estimation of the model parameters from time series data and introduce an online estimation algorithm. We employ a dataset of two competing subsidy programs from the US Department of Agriculture to validate the model by employing the identification techniques. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to study competing virus models in discrete-time, online identification of spread parameters from time series data, and validation of said models using real data. These new contributions are important for applications since real data is naturally sampled.

A Networked Competitive Multi-Virus SIR Model: Analysis and Observability
This paper proposes a novel discrete-time multi-virus SIR (susceptible-infected-recovered) model that captures the spread of competing SIR epidemics over a population network. First, we provide a sufficient condition for…

This paper proposes a novel discrete-time multi-virus susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model that captures the spread of competing epidemics over a population network. First, we provide sufficient conditions for the …
State EstimationConvergence of Bi-Virus Epidemic Models with Non-Linear Rates on Networks -- A Monotone Dynamical Systems Approach
We study convergence properties of competing epidemic models of the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) type. The SIS epidemic model has seen widespread popularity in modelling the spreading dynamics of contagions suc…
Cross-validation based Nonlinear Shrinkage
Many machine learning algorithms require precise estimates of covariance matrices. The sample covariance matrix performs poorly in high-dimensional settings, which has stimulated the development of alternative methods, t…
Bi-SIS Epidemics on Graphs -- Quantitative Analysis of Coexistence Equilibria
We consider a system in which two viruses of the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) type compete over general, overlaid graphs. While such systems have been the focus of many recent works, they have mostly been studi…
