COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF THE COVID-19 DISEASE

Focusing on computer-based modeling of COVID-19, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to a five-ordinary differential equation (ODE) model. It includes a complete model statement, detailed discussions of the ODEs, initial conditions, and parameters. A line-by-line explanation of R routines allows readers to execute the code without prior knowledge of numerical algorithms or programming, enabling them to conduct numerical experiments on basic computers. This accessible approach makes it suitable for a wide range of readers interested in epidemiological modeling.
