Contagious diseases simulation using Agent-Based Models

CDSLib - Agents

Welcome to CDSLib - Agents package.

Description

As part of the Contagious Disease Simulation Library, the CDSLib - Agents package is intended to be used for modelling and simulating contagious diseases using Agent-Based Models and it has been used for the development of the Contagious Disease Simulation Laboratory.

The package consists of different implementations of a heterogeneous population of agents following rules of behavior that determine their movement and the evolution of their infectious and clinical states.

The current implementation allows Agents to move in a bidemensional space following a distribution of velocities based on population data. This can be achieved thanks to the inclusion Distribution module which is a wrapper for different tools that provides distribution-like function support.

In regards to the disease states, the current implementation also allows the user to add as much states as preferred, and to create custom natural history of the disease (i.e. the design a custom graph for evolution of disease states).

For more information, please refer to the official documentation of the project.

Main contributors
