⏳🎲 Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) Models: Quantifying Epidemic Risk in Generations
Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) models are a foundational class of stochastic compartmental models in mathematical epidemiology. They are designed to represent epidemic dynamics over fixed, discrete time intervals, such as days or entire generations of infection. Unlike deterministic ordinary differential equation models, DTMCs explicitly incorporate randomness through probability laws, making them particularly suitable for … Read more
