Generation interval contraction and epidemic data analysis.
The generation interval is the time between the infection time of an infected person and the infection time of his or her infector. Probability density functions for generation intervals have been an important input for epidemic models and epidemic data analysis. In this paper, we specify a general stochastic SIR epidemic model and prove that the mean generation interval decreases when suscepti...
متن کاملClassifying inputs and outputs in interval data envelopment analysis
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an approach to measure the relative efficiency of decision-making units with multiple inputs and multiple outputs using mathematical programming. In the traditional DEA, it is assumed that we know the input or output role of each performance measure. But in some situations, the type of performance measure is unknown. These performance measures are called flexi...
متن کاملContext-Dependent Data Envelopment Analysis-Measuring Attractiveness and Progress with Interval Data
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for recognizing the efficient frontier of decision making units (DMUs).This paper presents a Context-dependent DEA which uses the interval inputs and outputs. Context-dependent approach with interval inputs and outputs can consider a set of DMUs against the special context. Each context shows an efficient frontier including DMUs in particular l...
متن کاملاPerformance Assessment of South Fars Power Generation Management Company by using of Data Envelopment Analysis with Interval Data and Undesirable Outputs
Due to the power industry importance in the process of country economic development,studying the efficiency of power plant s is very important. By measuring the efficiency canbe perceived the strength and awareness of different sectors and can improve theirperformance by provide the appropriate solutions. In this paper, power plants was assumedas a decision-making unit that consume gas and gaso...
متن کاملSerial interval contraction during epidemics
The serial interval may be defined as the time between the onset of symptoms in an infectious person and the onset of symptoms in a person he or she infects. Several methods of analyzing epidemic data, such as estimates of reproductive numbers, are based on a probability distribution for the serial interval. In this paper, we specify a general SIR epidemic model and prove that the mean serial i...
