The numbers in the figure represent the methods papers in this series: 1) the conceptualization paper, which describes the conceptualization of both the problem and the model; 2), 3) and 4) which describe the three main kinds of modeling methods addressed, including state transition model, discrete event and agent based models and dynamic transmission models; 5) parameter estimation used to calibrate the models, and 6) the transparency and validation of a model.
