Online social network sensors for influenza outbreaks
Previous research has shown strong correlations between postings on the online social network Twitter where users complain of influenza-like symptoms, and clinical data on actual influenza rates. In addition, previous research has shown that more popular individuals in a real-life social network …

Modeling transmission heterogeneity for infectious disease outbreaks
… dynamics associated with infectious disease outbreaks frequently use Ro to produce deterministic case count projections, in effect treating the affected population as homogeneous (i.e. as if every individual in the population interest has an equal likelihood of passing on the infection of …
