Epidemiological Model

This epidemiology model is a type of Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model, a mathematical formalism commonly used for modeling how infectious diseases spread in populations. Such models are the most common tools that have been used to historically model the spread of malaria, HIV, seasonal influenza, and other circulating viruses. This is the main tool used by epidemiologists and statisticians to better understand the ongoing coronavirus epidemic (see Hauser et al. (2020)). SEIR models can be linked to pharmacometrics models and other types of models used in healthcare to assess new pharmaceutical interventions (see Rayner et al. (2013), Kamal et al. (2017)).
