COVID-19 Models: Can they tell us what we want to know?

Nice article posted by my epidemiology colleague John H Holmes who has been trapped in Northern Italy during this crisis.

Is a nice tutorial explaining the different types of covid models out there, what they are good for and their limitations and uncertainties.

As famous 20th century statistician George Box has said “All models are wrong, some are useful”

That is coming from a lifelong modeler (and posted by one). The key is understanding strengths and limitations and uncertainties of each and using them to inform — they are not crystal balls and should not be followed as such, nor dismissed when they don’t meet that unrealistic high expectation.

I had a feeling this would be good and I was right. This is exactly the sort of thing worth supporting. On top of that, this is what happens when talent meets dedication. It is wonderful to see something done with this much heart. On top of that, it is one of those rare things that lives up to the hype. Best of all, it is refreshing to see something done this well. What really stands out is that this is a shining example of how things should be done. I am genuinely excited to see more! 👏 viking runecraft slot
