StandardInfektmodell
The StandardInfektmodell, often translated as the Standard Infection Model, is a conceptual framework used in epidemiology to describe the dynamics of infectious disease transmission within a population. It is a foundational model upon which more complex epidemiological models are built. The model typically categorizes individuals into compartments based on their disease status. The most basic version, the SIR model, includes three compartments: Susceptible (S), Infected (I), and Recovered/Removed (R). Individuals in the susceptible compartment are able to contract the disease. Those in the infected compartment are currently infectious and can transmit the disease to susceptible individuals. Individuals in the recovered/removed compartment are no longer susceptible or infectious, either due to immunity or death.
The model uses differential equations to represent the rates of transition between these compartments. For instance,
