Off the back of the recent surveillance data workshop at CIRM our group has been working on a paper that has now become a “workflow for infectious disease modelling”. This is very heavily inspired by \[2011.01808\] Bayesia… --- ## [Stochastic Scenario Analysis Tool](https://community.epinowcast.org/t/stochastic-scenario-analysis-tool/181)

Background Scenario analysis is a typical use case for infectious disease modelling - given what we think is going on, if we do X, how will it turn out compared to Y? Stochastic models are also a typical application - gi… --- ## [Scenario Analysis Package](https://community.epinowcast.org/t/scenario-analysis-package/220)
