Stochastic methods for epidemic models: An application to the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak in Korea

作者：

Highlights：

• We present stochastic methods for computation of influenza transmission models.

• We use the moment closure method that reduces computational load much.

• We find quantitative differences between deterministic and stochastic solutions.

• We investigate the impact of various vaccination and antiviral treatment scenarios.
