Uncertainty Quantification in Simulations of Epidemics Using Polynomial Chaos

Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations are a useful tool to study the processes involved in epidemiology. Many models consider that the parameters are deterministic variables. But in practice, the transmission parameters present large variability and it is not possible to deter...
