A Relationship Between SIR Model and Generalized Logistic Distribution with Applications to SARS and COVID-19 [PDF]
This paper shows that the generalized logistic distribution model is derived from the well-known compartment model, consisting of susceptible, infected and recovered compartments, abbreviated as the SIR model, under certain conditions. In the SIR model, there are uncertainties in predicting the final values for the number of infected population and the
