Stochastic Epidemic Models And Their Statistical Analysis

The present lecture notes describe stochastic epidemic models and methods for their statistical analysis. The reader of these lecture notes could thus have a two-fold purpose in mind: to learn about epidemic models and their statistical analysis, and/or to learn and apply techniques in probability and statistics. This book describes stochastic epidemic models and methods for statistically analyzing them. It is aimed at statisticians, biostatisticians, and biomathematicians.
