Prob. Lett. 85 (2014) 1–5] has shown how SIR epidemics in which individuals’ infection periods are not necessarily exponentially distributed may be modeled in terms of a piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP). In this paper, we present a more detailed description of the underlying PDMP, from which we analyze the population transmission number and the infection probability of a certain susceptible individual.journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1142/S1793524517500243http://www.worldscientific.com/metadata only access51:57Number of secondary casespiecewise-deterministic Markov processprobability of infectionSIR epidemic modelBiomatemáticas2404 Biomatemáticas
