Estimating Spread of Contact-Based Contagions in a Population Through Sub-Sampling
Summary: Estimates contagion spread from mobility traces of only a population subsample by modeling inferred co-location/contact networks, rather than scaling sampled spread or visit models. PollSpreader and PollSusceptible provide expected lower/upper bounds and accurate real-world estimates. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
