Feasibility Study on Multi-agent Simulations of a Seasonal Influenza Epidemic in a Closed Space
In a previous study, we traced the channel of infection at the Japan Coast Guard Academy as a closed space using real epidemic data. We introduced a refinement to a previous epidemic model to account for the i...
