Modelling epidemiological and economics processes - the case of cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT: Different types of mathematical models can be used to forecast the development of diseases as well as associated costs and analyse the cost-effectiveness of interventions. The set of models available to assess these parameters, reach from simple independent equations to highly complex agent-based simulations. For many diseases, it is simple to distinguish between infectious diseases and chronic-degenerative diseases. For infectious diseases, dynamic models are most appropriate because they allow for feedback from the number of infected to the number of new infections, while for the latter Markov models are more appropriate since this feedback is not required. However, for some diseases, the aforementioned distinction is not as clear. Cervical cancer, for instance, is caused by a sexually t
