About EMOD
EMOD, is an agent-based model (ABM) that simulates the simultaneous interactions of agents in an effort to recreate complex phenomena.
In it, each agent (such as a human or vector) can be assigned a variety of “properties” (for example, age, gender, etc.), and their behavior and interactions with one another are determined by using decision rules. Agent-based models have strong predictive power and are able to leverage spatial and temporal dynamics.
EMOD was developed and is maintained by
the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) at the Gates Foundation and by the research laboratory of
Dr. Anna Bershteyn of the Department of Population Health at New York University.
