Inference for Ecological Dynamical Systems: A Case Study of Two Endemic Diseases

Figure 1

Directed network for Markovian SIR dynamics. Each event pathway, 𝒫_𝑗, is represented in the network as the arrow connecting nodes of the random variables, here designated as 𝑆, 𝐼, and 𝑅. The blue dots represent individuals flowing through the network. For example, the flow of individuals out of node with random variable 𝑆 is represented by the arrow pointing to the box, which gives the firing time to the event and the state-change vector 𝝂₁ associated with the firing of the event.
