epydemic
is a Python library that implements simulations of
epidemic (and other) processes on networks. Epidemic processes are
very important in both network science and its applications. The most
common application is to study the ways in which diseases progress in
different network conditions, depending on their infectiousness and
other properties.
epydemic
provides simulation under synchronous and stochastic
(Gillespie) dynamics, using the well-known networkx
package to
represent and manipulate networks. It supports a generic model for
compartmented models of disease with several standard models provided
and which can be extended to other, more complex, diseases. It also
supports other network processes such as addition-deletion networks,
and a library for handling generating functions used in network
analysis.
epydemic
is built on top of the epyc
experiment management
library, allowing simulations to be conducted at scale on individual
machines, multicore machines, and parallel computing clusters.
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
API documentation for epydemic is available on ReadTheDocs (please note the slightly different project name).
