Ask HN: Has there been research done to predict how long a pandemic would last?

I'm looking for some references on past research that has been done which tries to predict how long a pandemic would last based on various factors like source of the outbreak, vaccination available or not, nature of the virus, etc. This research could be based on pandemics that have plagued our society in the past.

Any research papers on the same or reference links would be highly appreciated on this topic.
