SIR compartmental model in Vensim displaying disease transmission dynamics between Susceptible, Infectious, and Recovered populations with key epidemiological parameters.
The classical Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) model provides a foundational framework for understanding infectious disease transmission. See session 2 for more on this topic. (Starter SIR model by the instructor.)
