Introduction • Infectious Diseases Remain Important • Understanding Disease Dynamics • Public Health Program Implementation • Childhood Diseases Useful for Study • Clear Temporal Dynamics • Annual and Biennial Drivers Dependent on Birthrate • Seasonal Patterns • Not Purely Random
Compartment Models • Many Compartment Models Possible • Compartments Reflect Disease Progression • SIR Compartment Model • Suitable for Childhood Infectious Diseases R E I S S M (t) (t) S I R B(t) D(t) σ
Introduction • Seasonality in Transmission Parameter • Previous Results Show Seasonality in Beta Corresponds With School Terms
Outline • Problem Formulation • High-level Solution Strategy • Pyomo Implementation • Results • Pyomo Experiences • Acknowledgements
Disease Model • TSIR Model – Measles Data
Problem Formulation • Log Transform
Problem Formulation • Multiplicative Noise in Data Measurement
Problem Formulation • First-Order Taylor Series Approximation
Results – New York Data • Global Solution – Two Years of Case Data
Results – New York Data • Global Solution – On/Off Behavior Matches School Terms Summer Break
Pyomo Experiences • Convenience of Python • plotting/saving results • lists/dictionaries for data analysis • functions, classes • Data files • previous models built in AMPL
