On the Quasi-Stationary Distribution of SIS Models

چکیده
In this paper we propose a novel method for constructing upper bounds of the quasi-stationary distribution of SIS processes. Using this method, we obtain an upper bound that is better than the state-of-the-art upper bound. Moreover, we prove that the fixed point map Φ [7] actually preserves the equilibrium reversed hazard rate order under a certain condition. This allows us to further improve the upper bound. Some numerical results are presented to illustrate the results.

A Note on Quasi-stationary Distributions of Birth-death Processes and the Sis Logistic Epidemic
For Markov processes on the positive integers with the origin as an absorbing state, Ferrari, Kesten, Martinez and Picco [4] studied the existence of quasi-stationary and limiting conditional distributions by characterizing quasi-stationary distributions as fixed points of a transformation Φ on the space of probability distributions on {1, 2, . . .}. In the case of a birth-death process, one ca...
متن کاملExpected Time to Extinction of SIS Epidemic Model Using Quasy Stationary Distribution
We study that the breakdown of epidemic depends on some parameters, that is expressed in epidemic reproduction ratio number. It is noted that when R0 exceeds 1, the stochastic model have two different results. But, eventually the extinction will be reached even though the major epidemic occurs. The question is how long this process will reach extinction. In this paper, we will focus on the Mark...
متن کاملStationarity in moment closure and quasi-stationarity of the SIS model.
Previous epidemiological studies on SIS model have only considered the dynamic evolution of the mean value and the variance of the infected individuals. In this paper, through cumulant neglection, we use the dynamic equations of all the moments of infected individuals to develop a recursive method to compute the equilibria manifold of the moment closure ODE's. Specifically, we use the stable eq...
متن کاملA Stochastic Sis Infection Model Incorporating Indirect Transmission
We describe a stochastic susceptible–infective–susceptible (SIS) model for transmission of infectious disease through a population, incorporating both direct host–host transmission and indirect transmission via free-living infectious stages (e.g. environmental bacteria). Existence of a quasi-stationary distribution conditional upon nonextinction of infection is established. A bivariate Ornstein...
متن کاملNew Methods for Determining Quasi-Stationary Distributions for Markov Chains
we shall be concerned with the problem of determining quasi-stationary distributions for Markovian models directly from their transition rates Q. We shall present simple conditions for a p-invariant measure m for Q to be p-invariant for the transition function, so that if m is finite, it can be normalized to produce a quasi-stationary distribution. @ 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
