HPVsim: an agent-based model of HPV and cervical disease
The core methods paper describing HPVsim's agent-based model of HPV transmission, natural history, and progression to cervical disease, and the open-source software that implements it.
Key findings
- Decouples the natural-history model from any single screening or classification system, modeling disease progression as a continuous process instead.
- Array-based computation, parallelization, and a multi-scale modeling approach keep runtime under 10 seconds per country on a laptop.
- Calibrated to cervical cancer age distributions in the 30 most populous Sub-Saharan African countries.
