Mathematical models for predicting human mobility in the context of infectious disease spread: introducing the impedance model

Abstract Background Mathematical models of human mobility have demonstrated a great potential for infectious disease epidemiology in contexts of data scarcity. While the commonly used gravity model involves parameter tuning and is thus difficult to implement without reference data, the more recent r...
