Disease Transmission on Random Graphs Using Edge‐Based Percolation
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Edge‐based percolation methods can be used to analyze disease transmission on complex social networks. This allows us to include complex social heterogeneity in our models while maintaining tractability. Here, we begin by reviewing the seminal works on this field in previous studies by Newman et al. (2002, 2003) and Miller et al. (2012).
