Some mathematical methods for formulation and numerical simulation of stochastic epidemic models are presented. Specifically, models are formulated for continuous-time Markov chains and stochastic differential equations. Some well-known examples are used for illustration such as an SIR epidemic model and a host-vector malaria model. Analytical methods for approximating the probability of a disease outbreak are also discussed.
介绍了一些用于随机流行病模型的公式化和数值模拟的数学方法。具体而言,针对连续时间马尔可夫链和随机微分方程建立了模型。使用了一些著名的例子进行说明,如SIR流行病模型和宿主-媒介疟疾模型。还讨论了近似疾病爆发概率的分析方法。
