What are the Key Parameters in Epidemiological Models?
Common parameters in epidemiological models include:
Basic Reproductive Number (R₀): The average number of secondary cases produced by a single infected individual in a completely susceptible population. Incubation Period: The time interval between exposure to the pathogen and the appearance of clinical symptoms. Transmission Rate: The rate at which the disease spreads from infected individuals to susceptible ones. Recovery Rate: The rate at which infected individuals recover from the disease and gain immunity. Mortality Rate: The proportion of deaths among the infected individuals.
