Abstract
The computer age and the phenomenological complexity of the AIDS/HIV epidemic have engendered a rich profusion of deterministic and stochastic time series models for the development of an epidemic. The present study examines the reliability of deterministic approximations of fundamentally random processes. Through numerical analysis and probabilistic considerations, we derive absolute and simultaneous confidence interval bounding techniques, and offer a practical procedure based on these developments. A heartening aspect of the computational study presented at the close of this paper indicates that when the population size is in the thousands, the deterministic version to the classical logistic epidemic is a good approximation.
