Mathematical models and theorems
01 Feb 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just
In this module we introduce and compare various types of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models of disease transmission. We then illustrate how one can derive predictions of these models in the form of mathematical theorems.Level: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students of...

The preferential attachment model
10 May 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just, Hannah Lea Callender, Drew LaMar, Ying Xin
Many empirically studied networks have approximately so-called power-law or scale-free degree distributions. In Section 1 we formally define such distributions and explore some of their properties. We also introduce and briefly compare two methods for constructing random...

Exploring distances with IONTW
10 May 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just, Hannah Lea Callender, Drew LaMar
Section 1 is purely conceptual and invites readers to critically evaluate popular claims based on Stanley Milgram's famous experiment that gave birth to the phrases small-world property and six degrees of separation. In Section 2 we use IONTW to explore distances between nodes in several...

Exploring random regular graphs with IONTW
10 May 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just, Hannah Lea Callender, Drew LaMar
In this module we introduce and explore the structure of random regular graphs. Moreover, we compare the predictions of SIR-models on random regular contact networks with the predictions of corresponding models on Erdős-Rényi networks.Level: Undergraduate students of biology or...

Exploring Erdős-Rényi random graphs with IONTW
10 May 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just, Hannah Lea Callender, Drew LaMar
In this module we explore in detail the distribution of the sizes of connected components of Erdős-Rényi random graphs and discover the reasons for the similarities and differences between disease transmission on Erdős-Rényi networks and complete graphs that were observed in...
