A Statistical Model for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS) is a novel infectious disease with global impact. The rapid worldwide spread of SARS has led to 30 countries reporting cases of July 13, 2003. In this paper, we develop a statistical model for SARS-caused-death data under some assumptions. The model developed is a continuous time Markov process with a constant intensity for each stage.
