The age incidence of any cancer can be explained by a one-mutation model
Rinaldo B. Schinazi
We propose a one mutation model for cancer with a mutation rate that increases with time. Under rather general hypotheses the number of mutations is necessarily a (non homogeneous)…
Will the announced influenza pandemic really happen?
Rinaldo B. Schinazi
We propose two simple probability models to compute the probability of an influenza pandemic. Under a random walk model the probability that all pandemics between times 0 and 300 o…
A contact process with mutations on a tree
Thomas M. Liggett, Rinaldo B. Schinazi, Jason Schweinsberg
Consider the following stochastic model for immune response. Each pathogen gives birth to a new pathogen at rate . When a new pathogen is born, it has the same type as its paren…
Mass extinctions: an alternative to the Allee effect
Rinaldo B. Schinazi
We introduce a spatial stochastic process on the lattice Z^d to model mass extinctions. Each site of the lattice may host a flock of up to N individuals. Each individual may give b…
