Simulations are typically conducted using specialized software and computational resources. The process involves:
Defining the Model: Choose the type of model that best suits the research question. Parameterization: Input relevant parameters such as transmission rates, recovery rates, and population demographics. Validation: Validate the model against historical data to ensure its accuracy. Running Simulations: Run multiple simulations to account for variability and uncertainty. Analysis: Analyze the results to draw meaningful conclusions and inform policy decisions.
