Journal of theoretical biology
Cholera, an acute diarrheal disease, is a serious concern in developing and underdeveloped areas. A qualitative understanding of cholera epidemics aims to foresee transmission patterns based on reported data and mechanistic models. The mechanistic mo...

A deep learning based surrogate model for the parameter identification problem in probabilistic cellular automaton epidemic models.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: an accurate estimation of the epidemiological model coefficients helps understand the basic principles of disease spreading. Some studies showed that dozens of hours are needed to simulate the traditional probabilistic cellu...

Measuring and Preventing COVID-19 Using the SIR Model and Machine Learning in Smart Health Care.

Journal of healthcare engineering
COVID-19 presents an urgent global challenge because of its contagious nature, frequently changing characteristics, and the lack of a vaccine or effective medicines. A model for measuring and preventing the continued spread of COVID-19 is urgently re...
