Spatio-temporal predictive modeling framework for infectious disease spread

Abstract A novel predictive modeling framework for the spread of infectious diseases using high-dimensional partial differential equations is developed and implemented. A scalar function representing the infected population is defined on a high-dimensional space and its evolution over all the direct...
