Colonna, Kyle J. (author), Nane, G.F. (author), Choma, Ernani F. (author), Cooke, R.M. (author), Evans, John S. (author)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forecasts from over 100 models are readily available. However, little published information exists regarding the performance of their uncertainty estimates (i.e. probabilistic performance). To evaluate their probabilistic performance, we employ the classical model (CM), an established method typically used...journal article 2022

Ma, L. (author), Kitsak, M.A. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Despite many studies on the transmission mechanism of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it remains still challenging to efficiently reduce mortality. In this work, we apply a two-population Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model to investigate the COVID-19 spreading when contacts between elderly and non...conference paper 2022

Hafsteinsdóttir, Gudrun Birta (author)Covid-19 has had a major impact on mobility and especially on public transportation. In the Netherlands, the impact on public transport usage reduced up to 90% per day during the Covid-19 crisis compared to 2019. In June 2021, when travelling by public transport was allowed again, the usage was only half compared to a similar weekday in 2019. To...student report 2021

Ma, L. (author)Complex systems are made up of many interconnected components. The interactions between components further produce emerging complex collective behaviors. In most cases, a complex system can be represented as a network in which the nodes represent the elements and the connected links illustrate the interactions. The spreading process is one of...doctoral thesis 2021
