Summary This book provides a systematic introduction to the fundamental methods and techniques and the frontiers of along with many new ideas and results on infectious disease modeling, parameter estimation and transmission dynamics. It provides complementary approaches, from deterministic to statistical to network modeling; and it seeks viewpoints of the same issues from different angles, from mathematical modeling to statistical analysis to computer simulations and finally to concrete applications
