A couple months ago, building projections for a rabies elimination program while sitting in a hotel bar in Zambia, I was pretty pleased I wasn't relying on a server.
Edge case, sure, but shrug
- et2o 8y agoHaha fair enough. How's the rabies situation there? Are people still doing multicompartment SIR models? That kind of stuff is hard to parralelize.
- Fomite 8y agoIt's still a big deal, but getting better - my university's running a decently successful program in Kenya. And yeah, people still use compartmental models pretty heavily. A lot of my stuff is stochastic (it's about the beginning or end of epidemics, or in small populations) so that's nicely parallel.
