Evidence synthesis for stochastic epidemic models
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

ENTROPY FOR DTMC SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL
In this paper at rst, a history of mathematical models is given.Next, some basic information about random variables, stochastic processesand Markov chains is introduced. As follows, the entropy for a discrete timeMarkov process is mentioned. After that, the entropy for SIS stochastic modelsis computed, and it is proved that an epidemic will be disappeared after a longtime.
متن کاملStochastic Synthesis of Drouths for Reservoir Storage Design (RESEARCH NOTE).
Time series techniques are applied to Ghara-Aghaj flow records, in order to generate forecast values of the mean monthly river flows. The study of data and its correlogram shows the effect of seasonality and provide no evidence of trend. The autoregressive models of order one and two (AR1, AR2), moving average model of order one and ARMA (1,1) model are fitted to the stationary series, where th...

Background and aims: The world is threatened by disease outbreak that reaches a public health emergency of international concern, studies to inform public and agencies for effective containment strategy are necessary. Several studies provided vital information of the dynamics and control of Ebola epidemic outbreak in West Africa. Methodologies and techniques in those researches...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Stochastic Epidemic Models
A brief introduction to the formulation of various types of stochastic epidemic models is presented based on the well-known deterministic SIS and SIR epidemic models. Three different types of stochastic model formulations are discussed: discrete time Markov chain, continuous time Markov chain and stochastic differential equations. Properties unique to the stochastic models are presented: probab...
متن کاملNetwork-based analysis of stochastic SIR epidemic models with random and proportionate mixing.
In this paper, we outline the theory of epidemic percolation networks and their use in the analysis of stochastic susceptible-infectious-removed (SIR) epidemic models on undirected contact networks. We then show how the same theory can be used to analyze stochastic SIR models with random and proportionate mixing. The epidemic percolation networks for these models are purely directed because und...
