What Role Do These Platforms Play in Disease Modeling?
Disease modeling is crucial for predicting the spread and impact of diseases. Software platforms like R and Epi Info have specific packages and tools for creating models such as SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) models. These models help in simulating disease outbreaks and assessing the potential effects of interventions. ArcGIS adds a spatial dimension to these models, allowing researchers to visualize how diseases spread geographically.
