Evidence synthesis for stochastic epidemic models
In recent years the role of epidemic models in informing public health policies has progressively grown. Models have become increasingly realistic and more complex, requiring the use of multiple data sources to estimate all quantities of interest. This review summarises the different types of stochastic epidemic models that use evidence synthesis and highlights current challenges.
متن کاملStochastic Epidemic Models
The present work concerns models of epidemic which are described by differential and stochastic differential equations. The theorems on the existence, uniqueness and properties of their solutions are stated. Introduction In nature, there are many diseases which can cause epidemics. Therefore it is useful to model the behavior of these diseases in order to control their progression. In this pape...
متن کاملStatistical Inference for Stochastic Epidemic Models
We consider continuous-time stochastic compartmental models which can be applied in veterinary epidemiology to model the within-herd dynamics of infectious diseases. We focus on an extension of Markovian epidemic models, allowing the infectious period of an individual to follow a Weibull distribution, resulting in more flexible modelling for many diseases. Following a Bayesian approach we show ...
متن کاملStochastic, spatially-explicit epidemic models.
Animal disease epidemic models are useful for better understanding both the spread and control of disease in a population. While it is advisable that models be only as complex as needed, it is often necessary to modify simplifying assumptions and thus increase model complexity to better reflect reality. Here, the author will examine the need for increasing model complexity by including randomne...
متن کاملStochastic epidemic models: a survey.
This paper is a survey paper on stochastic epidemic models. A simple stochastic epidemic model is defined and exact and asymptotic (relying on a large community) properties are presented. The purpose of modelling is illustrated by studying effects of vaccination and also in terms of inference procedures for important parameters, such as the basic reproduction number and the critical vaccination...
