AI总结:

本研究针对COVID-19 SEIR模型校准难题,提出结合方程反演、统计建模与样条拟合的方法,可基于病例数据准确校准含时变接触率的流行病模型。

摘要:

我们介绍由爱尔兰流行病学建模咨询小组(IEMAG,为爱尔兰政府提供COVID-19应对建议)开发的基于人群的SEIR(易感者、暴露者、感染者、移除者)模型。该模型采用时变有效接触率(等效于时再生数)来模拟非药物干预措施的效果。应用此类模型的一项关键技术挑战是如何根据观测数据(例如每日新增确诊病例数)进行准确校准,因为疾病的既往流行史会强烈影响对未来场景的预测。我们展示了一种基于SEIR方程反演、结合统计建模与数据样条拟合的方法,为这类广泛的模型提供了可靠的校准方法。

英文摘要:

We describe the population-based SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infected, removed) model developed by the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group (IEMAG), which advises the Irish government on COVID-19 responses. The model assumes a time-varying effective contact rate (equivalently, a time-varying reproduction number) to model the effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions. A crucial technical challenge in applying such models is their accurate calibration to observed data, e.g., to the daily number of confirmed new cases, as the past history of the disease strongly affects predictions of future scenarios. We demonstrate an approach based on inversion of the SEIR equations in conjunction with statistical modelling and spline-fitting of the data, to produce a robust methodology for calibration of a wide class of models of this type.
