Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAPPROXIMATION OF ESTIMATES IN THE SUSCEPTIBLE-INFECTIOUS-REMOVED EPIDEMIC MODELChanghyuck OhIn this note, a simple approximation for the maximum likelihood estimates of infection and removal parameters used in the Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) epidemic model is presented. This approximation can be applied when the numbers of susceptible and infected individuals are observable only at discrete points in time. Since, in such cases, a closed form of the likelihood function is generally too … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 6,760 accessesView PDF Cite
