Algorithms
New findings in algorithms described by A.G.J. Velthuis and co-researchers
Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, February 26th, 2008
According to recent research published in the journal Mathematical Biosciences, "Transmission of an infectious agent can be quantified from experimental data using the transient-state (TS) algorithm. The TS algorithm is based on the stochastic SIR model and provides a time-dependent probability distribution over the number of infected individuals during an epidemic, with no need for the experiment to end in final-size (e.g., where no more infections can occur)."
"Because of numerical limitations, the application of the TS algorithm is limited to populations with only a few individuals. We investigated the error of using the easily applicable, time-independent...
