Dynamic Adjustment of SIR Model with the Social Permissiveness: An Actual Measure of the Infection Rate
Author(s): Gerardo L. Febres*
The COVID-19 pandemic has globally impacted the behavior of the social patterns affecting the disease’s
contagiousness. This effect deviates the classical SIR model from reproducing the data of COVID-19 in most
countries. This study incorporates a non-constant permissiveness function to the SIR model. The resulting model
is computationally solved to obtain a likely permissiveness time-function. To solve the adjusted model, a technique
based on a proportional-integral controller is applied. The resulting models are compared with previous results
obtained by a manual iterative adjusting method. .. View more»
