epydemic
is a Python library that implements simulations of epidemic
(and other) processes over networks. Epidemic processes are very
important in both network science and its applications. The most
common application is to study the was in which diseases progress in
different network conditions, depending on their infectiousness and
other properties.
epydemic
provides the basic simulation machinery for performing
epidemic simulations under two different simulation regimes:
synchronous simulation in which time proceeds in discrete time
intervals, and stochastic or Gillespuie simulations which are better
for handling a wider range of probabilities (but which are slightly
harder to specify).
You can install epydemic
directly from PyPi using pip
:
pip install epydemic
The master distribution of epydemic
is hosted on GitHub. To obtain a
copy, just clone the repo:
git clone [email protected]:simoninireland/epydemic.git cd epydemic python setup.py install
The doc/
directory contains an IPython notebook that describes the
use of epydemic
in detail. You can also read it directly
online <https://github.com/simoninireland/epydemic/blob/master/doc/epydemic.ipynb>.
