Relationship between compartmental masses and transition rates in stochastic compartmental models

A class of stochastic linear compartmental models are studied for which the mean (average) compartmental masses satisfy a linear system of ordinary differential equations. Solutions of the system for mean masses and solutions of the compartmental model with mean compartmental matrix are compared. Ce...

Zusammenfassung:A class of stochastic linear compartmental models are studied for which the mean (average) compartmental masses satisfy a linear system of ordinary differential equations. Solutions of the system for mean masses and solutions of the compartmental model with mean compartmental matrix are compared. Certain examples demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the considered class of stochastic compartmental models.
