The impacts of exogenous noise on stochastic disease dynamics
Much of the literature and intuition associated with mathematical epidemiology is driven by deterministic models, which are a reasonable assumption when the population size is large. Stochastic models, especially individual based models, are however considered vital when dealing with small population sizes, especially at times of invasion or extinction. The overwhelming majority of these models…
