Coronavirus propagation modeling

In this virtual session Dr Antonov will:

• Discuss the modeling and evolution of different scenarios of the coronavirus propagation and related decease
• Overview classic compartmental models in epidemiology
• Discuss the theory behind the System dynamics approach using simple examples
• Discus philosophical, scientific, and mathematical justifications
• Describe System dynamics' approaches of modeling the propagation of - SARS-CoV-2 and the economic impact of COVID-19.

Our focus is on the modeling strategy and techniques and how they can be implemented using R. (See [AA1].)

Most of the examples used to illustrate the theoretical concepts and practical aspects will have graphics visualizations. The more important examples will have interactive interfaces.

Most of the models are not coronavirus specific and the presentation can be seen as an introduction to System dynamics.
