Instructions
This short assignment consists of two questions, one focused on #visualizations and one focused on #modeling.
- Create two figures using this data set on daily website visits. You can find the variable descriptions in this document. Briefly explain the patterns you observe in the figures. Be sure to incorporate feedback you received on #visualization LO in your first assignment.
- Coronavirus continues to be a global threat, with differing predictions on when infections will peak. Research information on coronavirus to use in two different model simulations. Plug that information into the NetLogo VIRUS model and this model: https://www.epidemix.app/. Justify the choice of your parameters by referring to relevant literature. Explain which model you think better captures the dynamics of the coronavirus outbreak, and what additions to each model you would propose to better capture those dynamics.
