On a perturbation method for the theory of epidemics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Extract
The theory of epidemics has been formulated as a deterministic theory and as a stochastic theory. There has been little work, except for a recent paper by Bailey [1], on the transition between the two formulations. In this paper we present an alternate formulation to that of Bailey that leads to a perturbation method more easily extendible to higher orders.
