wc -w@placeholderRecent outbreaks of Ebola, COVID-19 and mpox have demonstrated the value of
modelling for synthesising data for rapid evidence to inform decision making.
Methods used to synthesise available data in real time broadly fall into two
classes: either combining results from multiple, smaller models calibrated in
isolation (the _pipeline approach_, e.g., [@huisman2022]), or representing a
single model tuned to the specific scenario (the _joint model_ approach,
e.g., [@birrell2024;@Watson2024-vj]).coapplicant_details/# [Name]
