A systematic procedure for incorporating separable static heterogeneity into compartmental epidemic models
Odo Diekmann, Hisashi Inaba
Abstract
In this paper, we show how to modify a compartmental epidemic model, without changing the dimension, such that separable static heterogeneity is taken into account. The derivation is based on the Kermack-McKendrick renewal equation.
