  2. 1. Stochastic Epidemic Models : Different Aspects of Heterogeneity

    Author : Mathias Lindholm; Tom Britton; Maria Deijfen; Gianpaolo Scalia Tomba; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the study of stochastic epidemic models for infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations. All diseases treated are of SIR type, i.e. individuals are either Susceptible, Infectious or Recovered (and immune). READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling Epidemic Influenza : A Novel Approach

    Author : Wah-Sui Almberg; Magnus Boman; Mats Danielsson; Paavo Pylkkänen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Modellering av dynamiska förlopp i socio-biologiska komplexa system är långt ifrån trivialt. Behovet av fördjupad förståelse av sådana förlopp är många gånger stort. Vi har presenterat ett oortodoxt förslag på hur spridning av influensa i mänsklig population kan beskrivas och simuleras. READ MORE

  5. 3. Re-defining the Problem in Technology Aided Epidemic Prevention : from contact tracing to behavioral design
