The area under the trajectory of carriers in a carrier-borne epidemic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the area under the trajectory of carriers in the Downton carrier-borne epidemic (1968). Its Laplace–Stieltjes transform is studied, and a recursive equation derived for it. Its mean is examined in some detail and the solution obtained is expressed as a power series in π, the proportion of the infected susceptibles becoming carriers.
