2014 journal article

Optimal two-phase vaccine allocation to geographically different regions under uncertainty

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH, 233(1), 208–219.

By: H. Yarmand n, J. Ivy n, B. Denton* & A. Lloyd n

author keywords: OR in health services; Epidemic control; Two-phase vaccine allocation; Stochastic linear program; Newsvendor model; Value of stochastic solution
TL;DR: A decision process in which vaccination is performed in two phases to contain the outbreak of an infectious disease in a set of geographic regions potentially results in a lower attack rate and a considerable saving in vaccine production and administration cost. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

Analytic solution of the susceptible-infective epidemic model with state-dependent contact rates and different intervention policies

SIMULATION-TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION INTERNATIONAL, 89(6), 703–721.

By: H. Yarmand n & J. Ivy n

author keywords: susceptible-infective model; epidemic duration; state-dependent contact rates; interventions
TL;DR: The susceptible-infective (SI) epidemiological model is considered, a variant of the Kermack–McKendrick models, and the contact rate is let be a function of the number of infectives, an indicator of disease spread during the course of the epidemic. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

Identifying optimal mitigation strategies for responding to a mild influenza epidemic

SIMULATION-TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION INTERNATIONAL, 89(11), 1400–1415.

By: H. Yarmand n, J. Ivy n & S. Roberts n

author keywords: Simulation; mild epidemic; optimal control policy; cost-effectiveness analysis; vaccination; self-isolation
TL;DR: A continuous-time simulation model for the spread of a mild influenza epidemic based on the SEIR model, which shows that for low (high) levels of intervention, vaccination is incrementally more cost-effective than self-isolation, and public health officials should concentrate on vaccination at the beginning of the epidemic.

2013 journal article

Optimal intervention strategies for an epidemic: A household view

SIMULATION-TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION INTERNATIONAL, 89(12), 1505–1522.

By: H. Yarmand n & J. Ivy n

TL;DR: This research considers an affected household and model the effect of different intervention policies, which involve vaccination, antiviral prophylaxis, isolation, and treatment, on disease spread using a variation of Kermack–McKendrick (KM) models. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 article

COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF VACCINATION AND SELF-ISOLATION IN CASE OF H1N1

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2010 WINTER SIMULATION CONFERENCE, pp. 2199–2210.

By: H. Yarmand n, J. Ivy n, S. Roberts n, M. Bengtson n & N. Bengtson*

TL;DR: A continuous-time simulation model for the spread of H1N1 which allows for three types of interventions: antiviral prophylaxis and treatment, vaccination, and self-isolation and mandatory quarantine is developed. (via Semantic Scholar)

Sensitivity analysis of Matching Pennies game

MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTER MODELLING, 51(5-6), 722–735.

By: H. Yarmand n & K. Eshghi*

author keywords: Matching Pennies game; Two-person zero-sum games; Sensitivity analysis of games
TL;DR: The results of sensitivity analysis in a payoff matrix of the Matching Pennies game is discussed and the game value and the optimal strategies for different values of parameters are determined and compared. (via Semantic Scholar)
