Estimating Spread of Contact-Based Contagions in a Population Through Sub-Sampling
Summary: Poll-based sub-sampling yields accurate spread estimates via co-location graphs; simple scaling or location-visit models fail. Introduces PollSpreader and PollSusceptible, with analytical bounds and real-world high-res data, outperforming naive methods. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
