Adaptive Management of Epidemiological Interventions
Description
This package provides a flexible statistical framework for generating optimal
epidemiological interventions that are designed to minimize the total expected
cost of an emerging epidemic while simultaneously propagating uncertainty regarding
underlying disease parameters through to the decision process via Bayesian posterior
inference. The strategies produced through this framework are adaptive: vaccination
schedules are iteratively adjusted to reflect the anticipated trajectory of the
epidemic given the current population state and updated parameter estimates.
