Modeling sub-exponential epidemic growth dynamics through unobserved individual heterogeneity: a frailty model approach
Traditional compartmental models of epidemic transmission often predict an initial phase of exponential growth, assuming uniform susceptibility and interaction within the population. However, empirical outbreak data frequently show early stages of sub-exponential growth in case incidences, challengi...
