Preferred Label : Compartmental Models;
Définition CISMeF : Compartmental models are a very general modelling technique. They are often applied
to the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases. The population is assigned to
compartments with labels – for example, S, I, or R, (Susceptible, Infectious, or Recovered).
People may progress between compartments. The order of the labels usually shows the
flow patterns between the compartments; for example SEIS means susceptible, exposed,
infectious, then susceptible again. The origin of such models is the early 20th century,
with important works being that of Ross in 1916, Ross and Hudson in 1917, Kermack
and McKendrick in 1927 and Kendall in 1956. The models are most often run with ordinary
differential equations (which are deterministic), but can also be used with a stochastic
(random) framework, which is more realistic but much more complicated to analyze (source
