Analysis and prediction of the coronavirus disease epidemic in China based on an individual-based model
Abstract We established a stochastic individual-based model and simulated the whole process of occurrence, development, and control of the coronavirus disease epidemic and the infectors and patients leaving Hubei Province before the traffic was closed in China. Additionally, the basic reproduction n...
