Network Models in Epidemiology: Considering Discrete and Continuous Dynamics
Discrete and Continuous Dynamics is the first in a series of articles on Network Models for Epidemiology. This project began in the Fall quarter of 2014 in my continuous modeling course. Since then, it has taken off and turned into a series of articles, which I hope to compile into a single report. The purpose of the report is to explore mathematical epidemiology. In this article, we discuss the historical approach to disease modeling with compartmental models. We discuss the issues and benefits of using network models. We build a discrete dynamical system to describe infection and recovery of individuals in the population. Lastly, we detail the computational scheme for iterating this model.

New insights into population dynamics from the continuous McKendrick model
The article covers the continuous McKendrick model, which is key in epidemiology and population dynamics, developed by Anderson Gray McKendrick. It describes population age structure changes via birth and death rates as …
EpidemiologyNeural Spatio-Temporal Point Processes
We propose a new class of parameterizations for spatio-temporal point processes which leverage Neural ODEs as a computational method and enable flexible, high-fidelity models of discrete events that are localized in cont…
EpidemiologyPoint ProcessesGeometric slow-fast analysis of a hybrid pituitary cell model with stochastic ion channel dynamics
To obtain explicit understanding of the behavior of dynamical systems, geometrical methods and slow-fast analysis have proved to be highly useful. Such methods are standard for smooth dynamical systems, and increasingly …
Continuous and discrete compartmental models for infectious disease
The study of infectious disease propagation is essential for understanding and controlling epidemics. One of the most useful tools for gaining insights into the spread of infectious diseases is mathematical modelling. In…
EpidemiologyEpidemiology-Aware Neural ODE with Continuous Disease Transmission Graph
Effective epidemic forecasting is critical for public health strategies and efficient medical resource allocation, especially in the face of rapidly spreading infectious diseases. However, existing deep-learning methods …
