Deterministic model
The average measure (e.g., rates) of a system (e.g., populations) is described without randomness; in other words, the outcome is fixed (compare Stochastic model)….

Describes real-world interactions pertaining to infection transmission, pathogenesis, and measures of control such as vaccination (compare Phenomenological model)….
A type of compartmental models describing formation and dissolution of pairs (i.e., couples) in a population. Usually used to model sexually transmitted infections, pair models can account for time spent…
Describes relationships between risks and outcomes with no underlying assumptions (compare Mechanistic model)….
In contrast to deterministic models, stochastic models have random components; parameters or variables could be random (i.e., can be represented with a probability distribution)….
Builds upon assumptions or existing knowledge about relationships (e.g., effectiveness of an intervention) (compare to data-driven model).
