Details
EpiModel provides tools for the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases. Supported model classes include stochastic network models, which rely on the statistical framework of exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs) that evolve over time. This allows for modeling of disease-related contacts with duration, such as ongoing sexual partnerships.
The level of statistical complexity of these models, based in Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation, results in computationally intensive simulation processes. The goal of EpiModelHPC is to provide a standardized framework for extending EpiModel to run on modern high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
