Stochastic Population and Epidemic Models

Linda J. S. Allen is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Texas Tech University. Allen's primary research interest is mathematical modeling in biology. She formulates and analyzes deterministic and stochastic models in describing population, epidemic, viral and immune-system dynamics.

"The readers will certainly appreciate the quality of a text written in a very clear way, well-organized and with high pedagogical standard. ... Stochastic Population and Epidemic Models (Persistence and Extinction) is indeed a short, but complete, manual for the study of stochastic population and epidemic models indispensable for graduate students, for whom it was thought, but also accessible to many more audiences: professionals or simply curious on these subjects."
