Inspired by methods of queueing theory, we propose a Markov model for the spread of viruses in an open population with an exogenous flow of infectives. We apply it to the diffusion of AIDS and ...

A time-homogeneous Markov process is proposed for modeling the clinical course of recurrent genital herpes and is used to obtain estimators for various characteristics of the disease episode. The ...

Mathematical models are a way to attempt to predict the probable outcome of a complex situation. From climate, stock market and physics models, you can use mathematical formulas to determine a range ...

This paper develops an n-dimensional Markov-functional interest rate model, ie, a model driven by an n-dimensional state process and constructed using Markov functional techniques. It is shown that ...
