Abstract

In this paper we estimate the parameters in the stochastic SIS epidemic model by using pseudo maximum likelihood estimation (pseudo-MLE) and least squares estimation. We obtain the point estimators and $100(1-\alpha)\%$ confidence intervals as well as $100(1-\alpha)\%$ joint confidence regions by applying least squares techniques. The pseudo-MLEs have almost the same form as the least squares case. We also obtain the exact as well as the asymptotic $100(1-\alpha)\%$ joint confidence regions for the pseudo-MLEs. Computer simulations are performed to illustrate our theory.
