Effective containment of spreading processes such as epidemics requires accurate knowledge of several key parameters that govern their dynamics. In this work, we first show that the problem of identifying the underlying parameters of epidemiological spreading processes is often ill-conditioned and lacks the persistence of excitation required for the convergence of adaptive learning schemes. To tackle this challenge, we leverage a relaxed property called initial excitation combined with a recursive least squares algorithm to design an online adaptive identifier to learn the parameters of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model from the knowledge of its states. We prove that the iterates generated by the proposed algorithm minimize an auxiliary weighted least squares cost function. We illustrate the convergence of the error of the estimated epidemic parameters via several numerical case studies and compare it with results obtained using conventional approaches. |
