Stochastic Processes in Epidemiology: HIV/AIDS, Other Infectious Diseases and Computers (Electronic book text)

This text deals with the mathematical and statistical techniques underlying the models used to understand the population dynamics of not only HIV/AIDS, but also of other infectious diseases. Attention is given to the development of strategies for the prevention and control of the international epidemic within the frameworks of the models. The text incorporates stochastic and deterministic formulations within a unifying conceptual framework.
