Expected Time to Extinction of SIS Epidemic Model Using Quasy Stationary Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Markovian process of SIS model when major epidemic occurs. Using the approximation of quasi– stationary distribution, the expected mean time of extinction only occurs when the process is one step away from being extinct. Combining the theorm from Ethier and Kurtz, we use CLT to find the approximation of this quasi distribution and successfully determine the asymptotic mean time to extinction of SIS model without demography.

A stochastic SIS epidemic with demography: initial stages and time to extinction.
We study an open population stochastic epidemic model from the time of introduction of the disease, through a possible outbreak and to extinction. The model describes an SIS (susceptible-infective-susceptible) epidemic where all individuals, including infectious ones, reproduce at a given rate. An approximate expression for the outbreak probability is derived using a coupling argument. Further,...
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 کاملOn expected durations of birth-death processes, with applications to branching processes and SIS epidemics
We study continuous-time birth-death type processes, where individuals have independent and identically distributed lifetimes, according to a random variable Q, with E[Q] = 1, and where the birth rate if the population is currently in state (has size) n is α(n). We focus on two important examples, namely α(n) = λn being a branching process, and α(n) = λn(N −n)/N which corresponds to an SIS (sus...
متن کاملStability and Bifurcation of an SIS Epidemic Model with Saturated Incidence Rate and Treatment Function
In this paper an SIS epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and treatment func- tion is proposed and studied. The existence of all feasible equilibrium points is discussed. The local stability conditions of the disease free equilibrium point and endemic equilibrium point are established with the help of basic reproduction number.However the global stabili- ty conditions of these eq...
متن کاملOn the time to extinction for a two-type version of Bartlett's epidemic model.
We are interested in how the addition of type heterogeneities affects the long time behaviour of models for endemic diseases. We do this by analysing a two-type version of a model introduced by Bartlett under the restriction of proportionate mixing. This model is used to describe diseases for which individuals switch states according to susceptible-->infectious-->recovered and immune, where the...
