Simulators for Compartmental Models in Epidemiology

Simulators for different purposes

The repo currently has the following models implemented in jupyter notebooks:

  • Compartmental models namely SEIR and SEIRD which are elaborations of the basic SIR model. These models are used in epidemiology to predict the spread of a disease. E.g. variations of these basic models are being used in prediction of spread of COVID-19.
  • Estimation of SEIR and SEIRD model parameters using nonlinear least squares.

The simulator is built using IPython Widgets. Here is how SEIRD simulator looks like,

The simulator doesn't render in Jupyter notebooks hosted on GitHub but on your local machine, you will be able to run the notebook and use the simulator for various parameter values of choice.
