📈 The Distributed Susceptibility (Frailty) SIR Model: Accounting for Individual Heterogeneity 🧬
🏢 Conceptual Overview Classical epidemic models typically assume that all individuals are equally susceptible to infection. In reality, biological, behavioral, and social differences create substantial heterogeneity in vulnerability. The Distributed Susceptibility (Frailty) SIR Model extends the standard SIR framework by explicitly incorporating individual-level variation in susceptibility, referred to as frailty. This framework explains a key … Read more
