From: Balancing capacity and epidemic spread in the global airline network
Aggregated metrics for the spread of an epidemic on the complete airline route graph. The metrics presented are the number of new infections per time-step, the total proportion of the GC that has become infected and the effective transmission rate. The results are the average of 1000 repeats of a random walk, each walk starting at a randomly chosen node. The results exhibit the same characteristics of the well-know SIR compartmental model of epidemic spread
