Modelo de datos funcionales para la caracterización de la propagación de una epidemia.

Abstract

Epidemics have accompanied the humanity since the first civilizations and when they enter the scene, they create an indelible mark. This is evidenced in the number of fatalities and their geographical scope of spread, leaving severe and devastating consequences in their way. For this reason, the international community has allocated part of its resources on conducting studies of epidemics with the purpose to counter the harmful effects that they produce on people and societies. In the present work presented in this investigation, the modeling of an epidemic is developed using Functional Data, which is generated through simulations that provide different scenarios of the spread of an outbreak and their respective analysis.
