Online, semi-parametric estimation of optimal treatment allocations for the control of emerging epidemics

Published on Jul 28, 20151858 Views

A key component in controlling the spread of an epidemic is deciding where, when, and to whom to apply an intervention. Here, we conceptualize the epidemic as spreading across nodes in an network. A t
