#41 Epidemic models with Kris Parag

<p><a href="https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/k.parag">Kris Parag</a> is here to teach us about the mathematical modeling of infectious disease epidemics. We discuss the SIR model, the renewal models, and how insights from information theory can help us predict where an epidemic is going.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/835181v2">Optimising Renewal Models for Real-Time Epidemic Prediction and Estimation</a> (KV Parag, CA Donnelly)</li> <li><a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/703751v1">Adaptive Estimation for Epidemic Renewal and Phylogenetic Skyline Models</a> (KV Parag, CA Donnelly)</li> <li><a href="https://bioinformatics.chat/survey">The listener survey</a></li> </ul>
