Analyzing Contagion in Heterogeneous Networks
Summary: Using the real-life data for the flu shots "contagion", and generating an agent based model, the project intends to analyze contagion in a network in which all the nodes have various levels of threshold for changing. The project intends to investigate if the thresholds are various, can that lead to new behaviors in group level? Also includes an analytical analysis and investigation of dynamics of disease spreading in view of immunity-wise classification of regions/clusters.
