Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build SIR models: derive, scale, and interpret deterministic epidemic dynamics.
- Compute R0 and peaks: analyze thresholds, sensitivity, and final epidemic size.
- Run fast simulations: implement stable ODE solvers and extract key time metrics.
- Quantify uncertainty: estimate parameters, bootstrap ranges, and test scenarios.
- Plan healthcare demand: link SIR outputs to beds, resources, and control strategies.
