stochastic model (medicine) and laura (iou)


stochastic model (medicine)


stochastic model
<epidemiology> A mathematical model which takes into consideration the presence of some randomness in one or more of its parameters or variables. The predictions of the model therefore do not give a single point estimate but a probability distribution of possible estimates. Contrast with deterministic.

We might distinguish demographic stochasticity which arises from the discreteness of individuals and individual events such as birth, and environmental stochasticity arising from more-or-less unpredictable interactions with the outside world.


laura (iou)



laura noun. . E18.
[Greek = lane, passage, alley.]
Christian Church. A group of huts or cells inhabited by reclusive monks in Egypt and the Middle East. In the Orthodox Church, a monastery consisting of separate cells; a large monastery.
