Modeling infectious disease


Details
R-Ladies NYC & R-Ladies Rome are coming together for a joint event.
In this talk, we will delve into the fascinating world of modeling diseases with R using both deterministic and Bayesian methods while exploring the exciting insights that each approach has to offer.
At the heart of our discussion is the well-known SIR (susceptible-infected-recovered) model. This model can help us understand how an epidemic might unfold and what measures can be taken to prevent its spread.
So, do not miss this fascinating talk about modeling infectious diseases. Whether you are a student of science, a healthcare professional, or simply someone who wants to understand more about how to use R for modeling diseases, this talk promises to be insightful!
Schedule of the event:
- Introduction presentation of the Chapters and R-Ladies Global action
- SIR model with R - quick intro assessment (Speaker Federica Gazzelloni)
- Bayesian workflow for disease transmission (Speaker Jacqueline Buros Novik)
- Q&A session

Si parla di malattie infettive. In questo talk, approfondiremo l'affascinante mondo del modeling delle malattie, ed esploreremo le entusiasmanti intuizioni che questo campo ha da offrire. Al centro della nostra discussione c'è il noto modello SIR, questo modello può aiutarci a capire come potrebbe evolve un'epidemia, discuteremo su possibili modi di calibrare i modelli, e quali misure possono essere prese per prevenirne la diffusione.
Quindi, non perdere questo meetup! Che tu sia uno studente di scienze, un professionista sanitario o semplicemente qualcuno che vuole capire di più su come usare R per applicare i modelli per le malattie infettive.
