An epidemic outbreak according to a simple stochastic epidemic model, it was simulate, by means of a Fortran Programme, to formulate conjectures on infection rate values in the case of diphtheria in a household of five.

OBJECTIVE: There are many methods to determine how many components should be retained in principal components analysis. This choice can be made on the basis of arbitrary (Kaiser) or subjective (Interpretable factors) criteria. This work presents the simulation criteria of Lébart e Dreyfus. The method create a matrix of randomized numbers and a principal component analysis is performed on the basis of this matrix. The components extracted from this data represent the cut off values. Those that exceed this cut […]
