Built-in Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) allows model calibration to observed data. Models developed outside of Epydemix can still be calibrated using the ABC modules.

Users can explore estimated posterior distributions and run forward projections under a range of scenarios.

Epydemix lets you integrate age structure and contact matrices into your models.

We provide data for 400+ locations, covering nearly all countries, plus subnational resolution for the US, Canada, China, India, and more.

Nicolò Gozzi @ngozzi.bsky.social · May 9

With Epydemix, you can build stochastic compartmental models with arbitrary compartments and transition rules.

From simple SIR models to highly customized structures, Epydemix supports the full spectrum of compartmental modeling.

Today we’re releasing Epydemix (www.epydemix.org), a Python package for flexible, modular, and data-driven epidemic modeling.

Designed for researchers, students, and public health professionals.
