Plausible models for propagation of the SARS virus
Michael Small, Pengliang Shi, Chi Kong Tse
Using daily infection data for Hong Kong we explore the validity of a variety of models of disease propagation when applied to the SARS epidemic. Surrogate data methods show that s…
Modelling of SARS for Hong Kong
Pengliang Shi, Michael Small
A simplified susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemic model and a small-world model are applied to analyse the spread and control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) f…
Geometric measures of redundance and irrelevance tradeoff exponent to choose suitable delay times for continuous systems
Xiaodong Luo, Michael Small
Using the concept of the geometric measures of redundance and irrelevance tradeoff exponent (RITE)}, we present a new method to determine suitable delay times for continuous system…
Optimal time delay embedding for nonlinear time series modeling
Michael Small
When building linear or nonlinear models one is faced with the problem of selecting the best set of variable with which to predict the future dynamics. In nonlinear time series ana…
Estimating the distribution of dynamic invariants: Illustrated with an application to human photo-plethysmographic time series
Michael Small
Dynamic invariants are often estimated from experimental time series with the aim of differentiating between different physical states in the underlying system. The most popular sc…
