Our Global Model is a stochastic model of influenza transmission around the globe. This work is described in the paper The Global Transmission and Control of Influenza.
The model is open source.
To run the model, you will need to have python and the numpy library installed. There is no user interface, and the software does not produce graphics. NASA’s World Wind was used to generate images of the world, and Map Equation was used to produce the country clusters and maps.
