Applications of occupancy urn models to epidemiology
This paper shows how occupancy urn models can be used to derive usefulresults in epidemiology. First we show how simple epidemic models can be re-interpreted in terms of occupancy problems. We use this reformulation to derive an expression for the expected epidemic size, that is,the total number of...
