Model Implementation
• Model seeks solutions to ODEs as an Initial Value Problem
• Parallel Implementation in Excel & Matlab
– Allows for a comparative study and sanity checks
• Excel implementation uses the Forward Euler method
• Matlab uses the Runge-Kutta method
– ODE45 Solver (alternately ODE113 Solver)
• Work on Tolerances & Stability is in progress
– To ascertain Local Formula Error and Round-off error and ultimately
estimate global error
– To determine stiffness by varying time steps
• Next steps

Tracking and Cataloging of solver outputs for analysis & reporting
Input Parameters
• “Known” input parameters – determined via research
– Incubation period (generally given as a range)
• Deterministic model will use the mean
– Infection period (generally given as a range)
• Deterministic model will use the mean
– Mortality rate
– Disability rate
• Not readily available
• “Controllable” input parameters – modified as part of the
containment analysis
– Transmission rate
• Modify to represent the various containment strategies
– Close contacts identification rate
– Quarantine rate
– Treatment rate

Initial Values (deterministic model)
Analysis Plan – Overview
• Initial analysis will focus on one disease (will expand to others
if time permits)
– Objective is to select a disease with ample, readily-available data
• Smallpox & possibly Ebola
– Research to determine realistic values for the input parameters is
nearly complete
• Sensitivity analysis and parametric studies
– Initial model is deterministic – sensitivity analysis will be used to
determine the impact of variations in the “known” input parameters
• Incubation period, infectious period, mortality rate, and disability rate
• Objective is to evaluate whether a deterministic approach is appropriate
– Sensitivity analysis may indicate that some parameters should be stochastic
– Parametric studies will be performed on the “controllable” parameters
• Transmission rate, close contacts identification rate, quarantine rate, and
treatment rate
• The variations in these parameters represent the control strategies that
BAM is going to evaluate
12
Analysis Plan – Details
• Sensitivity analysis on the “known” input parameters
– Incubation period, infectious period and mortality rate
• Available data provides a large range for some values
– For example: Smallpox incubation period is 7-17 days with an average of 12-14
days
• Will run multiple cases to determine how much the end result is impacted if
these parameters are varied from their mean
– If the impact is “minimal” the mean will be used for the rest of the simulations (will
periodically review sensitivity analysis as the “controlled” parameters are varied)
– Disability rate – not a readily available number
• Want to determine how much this parameter impacts the end results
• Parametric studies on the “controllable” input parameters
– Parameter values will be selected to represent the control strategies
– Objectives:
• Evaluate how modifications in the quarantine rate affect the total deaths
and disabilities from the outbreak
• Compare the outcomes for mass vaccination vs. targeted vaccination
strategies
– The results will be evaluated to determine the feasibility of quarantine
and vaccination rates based on available resources
13
Containment Strategies
• Six epidemic control strategies are being
considered for analysis within BAM:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Quarantine/isolation
Voluntary confinement and movement restrictions
Ring vaccination
Targeted vaccination
Mass vaccination
Prophylactic vaccination
• Additional analysis is required to determine how
to modify the input parameters to simulate the
various control strategies
– Research has provided initial values for the parameters of
interest
14
Transmission Rate Decay
• Addresses the precautionary measures not accounted for in the
state model
– Includes voluntary confinement, use of protective equipment, and other
behavioral changes
– β(t) = disease transmission rate as a function of time
• Prior to when precautionary measures are taken, the transmission
rate is constant, β0
• After time t*, β(t) will start to decay down to β1, at rate q, (β1< β0)

 q ( t t *)

  1  (  0   1 )e
β0 = transmission rate prior to precautionary measures
β1 = transmission rate after precautionary measures are in full effect
t* = time of the onset of the precautionary measures
q = decay rate
15
Effective Reproductive Number
• The effective reproductive number, Reff(t), measures the
average number of secondary cases per infectious case
t time units after the introduction of the initial infections
– Reff(t) is a common comparative parameter used in epidemic
modeling
– N = population size
Reff(t) = β(t)*μ2*(S(t)/N)
• In a closed population, Reff(t) is non-increasing as the
size of the susceptible population, S(t), decreases
• When Reff(t) ≤ 1, the threshold to eventual control of the
outbreak is crossed
