Publikováno v: Mathematics, Vol 9, Iss 9, p 1007 (2021)

We extend the classical compartmental frameworks for susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) and susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) systems to include an exposed/latent class or a chronic class of infection. Using a suite of stochastic continuous-ti
