Epidemic models on social networks -- with inference

Populations and Evolution 2019-08-16 v1 Probability Methodology

Abstract

Consider stochastic models for the spread of an infection in a structured community, where this structured community is itself described by a random network model. Some common network models and transmission models are defined and large population proporties of them are presented. Focus is then shifted to statistical methodology: what can be estimated and how, depending on the underlying network, transmission model and the available data? This survey paper discusses several different scenarios, also giving references to publications where more details can be found.
