Abstract:

This program provides a comprehensive four-day exploration of epidemiological modeling and analysis. Participants will learn about compartimental models, R₀/R_t analysis, probability, and statistics. They will also address the limitations of basic models, handle uncertainty through Monte Carlo simulations, and construct posterior distributions. The program goes beyond epidemic prediction, covering incidence estimation, survival analysis, and parameter inference. Participants will also learn regression techniques, Koopman analysis, and Dynamic Mode Decomposition. Practical coding demonstrations accompany the learning process, ensuring participants gain valuable skills in disease dynamics analysis
