Latin hypercube sampling and infectious diseases

The R value in SW was predicted to be 2.6 (95% CrI 2.0 to 3.2) prior to any interventions, with social distancing reducing this to 2.3 (95% CrI 1.8 to 2.9) and lockdown/school closures further reducing the R value to 0.6 (95% CrI 0.5 to 0.7). The total number of patients in acute and IC beds in the SW on was predicted to be 701 (95% CrI 169 to 1543) and 110 (95% CrI 8 to 464), respectively. SW model projections indicate that, as of (when 'lockdown' measures were eased), 5793 (95% credible interval (CrI) 2003 to 12 051) individuals were still infectious (0.10% of the total SW population, 95% CrI 0.04% to 0.22%), and a total of 189 048 (95% CrI 141 580 to 277 955) had been infected with the virus (either asymptomatically or symptomatically), but recovered, which is 3.4% (95% CrI 2.5% to 5.0%) of the SW population. The expected numbers of infected cases, deaths due to COVID-19 infection, patient occupancy of acute and IC beds and the reproduction ('R') number over time. Publicly available data on patients with COVID-19. SW at a time considered early in the pandemic, where National Health Service authorities required evidence to guide localised planning and support decision-making. Latin hypercube sampling and maximum likelihood estimation were used to calibrate to cumulative cases and cumulative deaths. Open-source age-structured variant of a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered compartmental mathematical model. 14 School of Veterinary Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK develop a regional model of COVID-19 dynamics for use in estimating the number of infections, deaths and required acute and intensive care (IC) beds using the South West England (SW) as an example case.14 School of Veterinary Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK PMC article.13 Modelling and Analytics Team, NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG, Bristol, UK.12 Health Data Research UK South-West of England Partnership, Bristol, UK.10 Department of Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.9 School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.8 Infection Science, Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, UK.7 Consultant in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, University Hospitals Bristol, Bristol, UK.6 Consultant in Microbiology, University Hospitals Bristol, Bristol, UK.5 Immunology, Pathology Sciences, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, UK.4 Academic Respiratory Unit, Southmead Hospital, Bristol, UK.3 NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Behavioural Science and Evaluation, Bristol, UK.2 Population Health Science Institute, University of Bristol Medical School, Bristol, UK.1 School of Veterinary Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.Much confusion often arises for graduate students when they read literature they have found that describes an analysis employing Markov Chain methods, and they assume that it means compartmental modelling with Markov Chains. In this module we only talk about MCMC method specifically applied to parameter optimisation problems. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods can also be used (among other things) for stochastic compartmental modelling, but that is not what this module discusses ( see here instead). In Markov Chain Monte Carlo, the distributions from which you sample depend on the current state of the system. вЂњChainвЂќ means that you do many iterations of the Monte Carlo random sampling (ie: a вЂњchainвЂќ of iterations). вЂњMarkovвЂќ processes assume that the predictions for the future state of a system depend solely on the current state of the system. Note that вЂњ Markov ChainвЂќ is an adjective that is applicable to a variety of contexts. In this module we will discuss the Markov Chain graphical Monte Carlo method for finding the best-fit parameters of a mathematical model when fitting the model predictions to a source of data.
