On the infinitesimal dispersion of multivariate Markov counting systems

  • Bretó, Carles

Abstract

We provide a multivariate extension of a recent result for univariate Markov counting processes: necessity and sufficiency of compoundness for infinitesimal over-dispersion. As an illustration, we show that infinitesimally over-dispersed epidemiological SIR-type compartment models must rely on compound counting processes.
