Objective
This course presents a concise outline of the stochastic models used in epidemiology to describe the evolution of infectious diseases that can be transmitted within a population and the statistical methods suitable for the type of data encountered in this area of application. In particular, it aims to help students grasp simple Markov models of stratified populations, the "large population" asymptotics which dominates in statistical applications and probabilistic tools such as coupling for analysing these models.
