Return of the pandemic

About

A model to predict pandemic recurrences

Understanding the return-period of a pandemic can be as important as solving its immediate impacts, as public health policies can be applied preemptively. This project proposes using data related to previous flu pandemics and the ntegration of current databases to analyse patterns and create statistical scenarios, capable of estimating the probability and trajectory until another outbreak.
