Abstract
Applications of Stochastic Processes in Biology and Medicine
Highlights
Even though the title of this special edition suggests that a wide class of stochastic processes may be applicable in biology and medicine, all the six papers that were accepted for publication in this edition were based, either directly or indirectly, on a class of stochastic processes called branching processes
Like the analysis used in papers and books on branching processes, limit theorems played a basic role in the paper and the time scale of evolution was evolutionary time rather than generations
Penisson and Jacob, the decay phase of the model for of an infectious disease caused by some infectious agent was approximated by a branching process
