Modeling and Simulation (Theory)
|
The students will be able to –
CO155: Students will get ideas about the individual-based models of infectious diseases. These models allow us to incorporate stochastic effects, and individual-scale detail in ways that cannot be captured in more traditional models. CO156: Students review a framework based on directed random networks that unifies a range of individual-based models in closed populations, simplifying their analysis. We then show how this framework provides a new and potentially useful perspective on the design of vaccination strategies. Student will also get idea about reproduction number which is used to control epidemics. CO157: Students get ideas about The types of simulations, simulation languages, pseudo-random numbers, Marcov chain and variants from different probability distributions. CO158: Students learn about the systems and its type, mathematical modeling, simulation there advantages and drawbacks. CO159: Students learn how to do modelling through graph, LPP. |
