To address pertinent issues, we formulate an $SEI_{A}I_{S}RS$ Transmission Dynamics model of COVID-19 where $I_{A}$ and $I_{S}$ respectively represent asymptomatic and symptomatic classes thus allowing the inclusion of parameters which are vulnerability sensitive. We define a vulnerability factor, $phi$ and show that the model is globally asymptotically stable at the disease-free equilibrium when $mathcal{R}_{0}<1$ and $phi$ is appropriately bounded above. We also show that the model is globally asymptotically stable at the endemic equilibrium when $mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ and $phi$ is appropriately bounded below. Finally, we employ numerical analysis using Ghana data, to further illustrate the effect of vulnerability related parameter  values on the trajectories of key variables of the model. We thereby demonstrated that  if a dominantly young population is of sufficiently low vulnerability then $mathcal{R}_{0}<1$, and the Transmission Dynamics exhibits global asymptotic stability at the disease-free equilibrium.","PeriodicalId":38619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is crucial to evaluate the implication of this on the probability estimates. This study compares the estimates of the cumulative incidence functions to the complement of the product-limit estimator (1-KM). The KM was found to inflate probability estimates when the dataset is unverified for competing risk. Estimates with lower standard errors and a larger area under the Receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) curve were related to datasets verified for competing events, while estimates with datasets unverified for competing risk had lower area under the ROC curve and higher standard errors. The results support the idea that since the product-limit estimator is a cause-specific model, it naturally performs better for a single event model than in the case of several events; hence, it is necessary to verify the dataset for competing events. The findings of this study clearly suggest that before choosing a modelling strategy, one should confirm competing risks in the survival dataset.","PeriodicalId":38619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136143108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variable coefficients are processed, the error estimate is analyzed in detail. Finally, we verify the validity of the scheme by Matlab and observe influence of damping coefficient variation on beam vibration.","PeriodicalId":38619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75070145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
