epydemic: Epidemic simulations on networks in Python
Overview
epydemic is a Python library that implements simulations of epidemic
(and other) processes over networks. Epidemic processes are very
important in both network science and its applications. The most
common application is to study the was in which diseases progress in
different network conditions, depending on their infectiousness and
other properties.
epydemic provides the basic simulation machinery for performing
epidemic simulations under two different simulation regimes:
synchronous simulation in which time proceeds in discrete time
intervals, and stochastic or Gillespuie simulations which are better
for handling a wider range of probabilities (but which are slightly
harder to specify).
Installation
You can install epydemic directly from PyPi using pip:
pip install epydemic
The master distribution of epydemic is hosted on GitHub. To obtain a
copy, just clone the repo:
git clone git@github.com:simoninireland/epydemic.git cd epydemic python setup.py install
Documentation
API documentation for epydemic is available on ReadTheDocs <https://pyepydemic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> (please note the slightly different project name).
