FAQPage Schema

How do I simulate an SIR epidemic model on a contact network?▼

Run the included Python simulation script with a YAML file configuring pathogen transmission, recovery, and fatality rates to calculate the epidemic attack rate across the contact network.

Can I model bioterrorism outbreaks using Francisella tularensis parameters?▼

Yes, you can model bioterrorism outbreaks by defining weaponized Francisella tularensis pathogen parameters, including transmission and fatality rates, within the outbreak scenarios YAML configuration file.

What's the best way to validate epidemic attack rates against specific thresholds?▼

Run parameterized SIR network simulations and compare the resulting outbreak attack-rate outputs against predefined minimum target thresholds to validate the epidemic scenario.

Do I need a YAML file to configure epydemic SIR simulations?▼

Yes, an outbreak_scenarios.yaml file containing pathogen entries, transmission, recovery, and fatality rates is required to configure and run the simulation script.

How does an Erdős–Rényi contact network affect epidemic spread modeling?▼

An Erdős–Rényi contact network provides a synthetic random graph topology for the SIR model, enabling researchers to test how stochastic connections influence weaponized pathogen transmission dynamics.
