A quantity is said to be subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its value. If the decaying quantity, N(t), is the number of ... more
The standard error (SE) is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. The term may also be used to refer to an estimate of that ... more
Mathematical models can project how infectious diseases progress to show the likely outcome of an epidemic and help inform public health interventions. ... more
Trip distribution (or destination choice or zonal interchange analysis) is the second component (after trip generation, but before mode choice and route ... more
The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey’s results. The larger the margin of error, the less ... more
In order to model the progress of an epidemic in a large population, the population diversity must be reduced to a few key characteristics which are ... more
