Getting Started

Warning

Important: This is the documentation of code no longer in active development This is the link to the current docs: covid19-inference

Installation

There exists three different possiblities to run the models:

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Priesemann-Group/covid19_inference_forecast
  1. Install the module via pip
pip install git+https://github.com/Priesemann-Group/covid19_inference_forecast.git

3. Run the notebooks directly in Google Colab. At the top of the notebooks files there should be a symbol which opens them directly in a Google Colab instance.

First Steps

To get started, we recommend to look at one of the currently two example notebooks:

  1. SIR model with changes points
    This model is extensively discussed in our paper: Inferring COVID-19 spreading rates and potential change points for case number forecasts
  2. SEIR-like model with extensions
    The second notebook runs a probably more realistic SEIR-like model. Details are found in the reference guide Models .
