Title
Analysis, Online Estimation, And Validation Of A Competing Virus Model
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a discrete time competing virus model and the assumptions necessary for the model to be well posed. We analyze the system exploring its different equilibria. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the estimation of the model parameters from time series data and introduce an online estimation algorithm. We employ a dataset of two competing subsidy programs from the US Department of Agriculture to validate the model by employing the identification techniques. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to study competing virus models in discretetime, online identification of spread parameters from time series data, and validation of said models using real data. These new contributions are important for applications since real data is naturally sampled.
