  3. Problem If we create a model in which individuals move randomly in a restricted area, how will it compare with the General Epidemic Model?

  4. Outline • History • The SIR Model • Classifications and Equations • First Model: Simple Square Region • Assumptions • The Effect of Changing Variables • Logistic Fitting • Comparison to SIR • Conclusions • Second Model: Wall Obstructions • The Effect of Changing Variables • Conclusions

  5. History • Epidemics in History: • Black Death/ Black Plague • Avian Flu • HIV/AIDS • Modeling Epidemics: • Kermack and McKendrick, early 1900’s • SIR model

  6. The SIR Model: Equations • Susceptibles: • α is known as the transmittivity constant • The change in the number of Susceptibles is related to the number of Infectives and Susceptibles:

  7. The SIR Model: Equations • Infectives: • β is the rate of recovery • The number of Infectives mirrors the number of Susceptibles, but at the same time is decreased as people recover:

  8. The SIR Model: Equations • Recovered Individuals • β is the rate of recovery • The number of Recovered Individuals is increased by the same amount it removes from the Infectives

  9. Construct a square region. Add n-1 Susceptibles. Insert 1 Infective randomly. Individuals move randomly. The Infectives infect Susceptibles on contact. Infectives are changed to Recovered Individuals after a set time. Making Our Model

  10. Original Assumptions of First Model • The disease is communicated solely through person to person contact • The motion of individuals is effectively unpredictable • Recovered Individuals cannot become re-infected or infect others • Any infected individual immediately becomes infectious • There is only one initial infective

  11. Original Assumptions of First Model • The disease does not mutate • The total population remains constant • All individuals possess the same constant mobility • The disease affects all individuals to the same degree • Only the boundary of the limited region inhibits the motion of the individuals

  12. We Change the Following: • Total population • Arena size • Maximum speed of individuals • Infection Radius • Probability of infection on contact (infectivity) • The time gap between infection and recovery • The initial position of the infected population

  39. Comparison to SIR An average of 105 program runs

  40. The Discrepancy • Why is there a discrepancy? • The Infectives tend to isolate each other from Susceptibles

  41. A Partial Solution Average of 100 runs

  42. Conclusions for the First Model • The rate of infection grows with: • The population density • The rate of transportation • The radius of infectious contact • The probability of infection from contact • The rate of infection decreases when individuals recover more quickly • The position of the initial infected can significantly affect the data • Our model does not match the SIR, primarily due to spatial dynamics, but is still similar

  43. Second Model: Wall Obstructions • The movement of the individuals is now affected by walls in the arena. • 2 Regions • 4 Regions
