Building mean field ODE models using the generalized linear chain trick & Markov chain theory
The well known linear chain trick (LCT) allows modellers to derive mean field ODEs that assume gamma (Erlang) distributed passage times, by transitioning individuals sequentially through a chain of sub-states. The time spent in these sub-states is the sum of k exponentially distributed random variab...
