We focus on birth-and-death models and the basic SIR epidemic model but the methodology remains valid for other nonlinear stochastic epidemic models. The theory is illustrated by numerical experiments which demonstrate that the proposed behavioral indicators can be applied efficientlyengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.apm.2014.02.017https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0307904X14000742?via%3Dihubopen access616-036.22519.216519.217EpidemiologyStochastic modelMarkov chainBehavioral indicatorsSalud pública (Medicina)Procesos estocásticosEstadística3202 Epidemiología1208.08 Procesos Estocásticos1208.06 Procesos de Markov
