On the Negative Binomial Convergence in a Class of M-Dimensional Simple Epidemics.

Abstract

Consider a population which is exposed to m infections, and consist initially of N susceptibles. At each point in time at most one susceptible becomes infective, and only from one cause. This m-dimensional simple epidemic is a stochastic process, (X sub N, 1(t),..., S sub N, m(t), with components counting the number of infectives from the respective causes at time t.
