CRRG Webinar: Norwegian regional stochastic model of COV-19 epidemics

The Norwegian regional stochastic model of the Covid-19 epidemics. Speaker: Arnoldo Frigessi, University of Oslo, Norway Moderator: Gyan Bhanot, Rutgers University Topics covered during this webinar: Stochastic SEIR-type model for the Covid-19 epidemics, used by Norwegian health authorities to make short-term predictions. Explanation of how decisions are made, and how data is collected and made available in Norway’s efficient and well organised public health system. How we use mobile phone mobility data streams to represent movements of individuals and how imported infections can be taken into account. Inference and assumptions made using different models based on data and sequencing. Challenges faced based upon the parameters of these models.
