Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Epidemic modeling is crucial for understanding and predicting infectious disease spread. To capture the complexity of real-world transmission, dynamic interactions between individuals with spatial heterogeneity must be considered. This modeling requires high-dimensional epidemic parameters, which can lead to unidentifiability; therefore, integrating various data types for inference is essential to effectively address these challenges.
