A Likelihood Approach for Real-Time Calibration of Stochastic Compartmental Epidemic Models.

Stochastic transmission dynamic models are especially useful for studying the early emergence of novel pathogens given the importance of chance events when the number of infectious individuals is small. However, methods for parameter estimation and prediction for these types of stochastic models rem...
