Petri Nets are an increasingly used modeling framework for the spread of disease across populations or within an individual. For example, the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) compartment model is foundational for population…
Global pandemics, such as the recent COVID-19 crisis, highlight the need for stochastic epidemic models that can capture the randomness inherent in the spread of disease. Such models must be accompanied by methods for estimating parameters…
