📉⛈️ Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) Models: Modeling Noise in Epidemic Trajectories
Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) models constitute a powerful class of stochastic compartmental models that extend deterministic epidemic frameworks by explicitly incorporating continuous random perturbations. Rather than assuming fixed transmission and recovery rates, SDEs recognize that epidemiological processes are influenced by ongoing environmental variability, demographic fluctuations, and unobserved behavioral changes. By embedding noise terms directly into … Read more
