Mathematical models: perspectives of mathematical modelers and public health professionals. (English) Zbl 1533.92121
David, Jummy (ed.) et al., Mathematics of public health. Mathematical modelling from the next generation. Cham: Springer. Fields Inst. Commun. 88, 1-35 (2024).
Summary: This chapter describes mathematical epidemiology from the perspectives of mathematical modelers and public health professionals. The mathematical approach in terms of model formulation, model algorithm, terminologies, quantitative and qualitative analysis, theoretical interpretation of human data, and parameter estimation, in the context of public health, is emphasized.
The chapter also addresses and gives examples of communicable disease models that have been used in the past for answering some public health questions. In addition, we summarize the implications of the results of these various models for endemic and epidemic scenarios on public policy over the years.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1531.92005].
