    Epidemic models which incorporate disease evolution

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about epidemic models which take into account the ability of a disease to mutate. Basically I’m curious if there are any existing models which could predict how a rapidly changing disease might affect the progression of an epidemic, or how slower...

    The typical formula for temperature drop in evaporative cooling models

    By passing warm air through a cotton sock acting as a wick immersed in water, how can I calculate the maximum evaporation to achieve the gratest temperature drop in the air flow? What is the typical formula for temperature drop in evaporative cooling models?

    SBML to create non linear models

    When are 2 models comparable using an F Test?

    Say I'm given a bunch of models on the same set of data how does one determine whether a valid comparison can be made between any two of them using an F Test? Is it that the estimation space of one has to be a subset of the other? Is there any easier, more practical way of determining this...

    Differential equations - population growth models

    The initial mass of a species of fish in a lake is 7 million tonnes. The mass of fish, if left alone, would increase at a rate proportional to the mass, with a proportionality constant of 2/year. However, commercial fishing removes fish mass at a constant rate of 15 million tonnes per year...

    Natural Growth and Logistic Models

    Hi, I have a question regarding natural growth and logistic models. According to my textbook, any exponential equations, P(t) = e^kt can be expressed logistically as P(t) = K/(1 + Ae^-kt) where A = (K-P0)/P0. When I applied this rule to P(t) = e ^0.0015t, and P(t) = 6000 / (1 + 5e^-0.0015t) it...
