Virtual April useR: Coronavirus Propagation Modeling

April useR Meetup
Coronavirus Propagation Modeling led by Anton Antonov

Zoom Bridge: https://zoom.us/j/97001332978

In this (tutorial) presentation, Anton 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.
