Semiparametric Relative-risk Regression for Infectious Disease Data [PDF]

Journal of the American Statistical Association 110(509): 313-325, March 2015, 2012
This paper introduces semiparametric relative-risk regression models for infectious disease data based on contact intervals, where the contact interval from person i to person j is the time between the onset of infectiousness in i and infectious contact from i to j.

Predicting and controlling the dynamics of infectious diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
This paper introduces a new optimal control model to describe and control the dynamics of infectious diseases. In the present model, the average time of isolation (i.e. hospitalization) of infectious population is the main time-dependent parameter that defines the spread of infection.

Role of fractal-fractional operators in modeling of rubella epidemic with optimized orders

Open Physics, 2020
Fractal-fractional (FF) differential and integral operators having the capability to subsume features of retaining memory and self-similarities are used in the present research analysis to design a mathematical model for the rubella epidemic while taking

Modelling coevolutionary dynamics in heterogeneous SI epidemiological systems across scales [PDF]

Commun. Math. Sci., 22(8):2131-2165, 2024, 2023
We develop a new structured compartmental model for the coevolutionary dynamics between susceptible and infectious individuals in heterogeneous SI epidemiological systems. In this model, the susceptible compartment is structured by a continuous variable that represents the level of resistance to infection of susceptible individuals, while the ...
