摘要:
SummaryChain binomial models axe commonly used to model the spread of an epidemic through a population. This paper shows that for a flexible class of chain binomial models an approximate maximum likelihood estimator of the infection rate, derived from a Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution, has an asymptotically normal distribution, as do some other related'estimators.
