The R0 Approach to Epidemic-non-Epidemic Phases Revisited
Abstract
In this work, we revisit the basic reproduction rate R0 definition for analysis of epidemic-non-epidemic phases describing the dynamics of the discrete stochastic version of the epidemic SIR model based on the Master Equation formalism. One shows that it is a very precise and efficient way to determine the epidemic threshold; using its most primitive concept, we can find exact results.
