Abstract

The aim of the study is to obtain a new probabilistic distribution of the random moment T of complete transition of patients from cohort S (susceptible to infection) to cohort R (recovered and cured).
Methodology. The distribution is constructed under the assumption that in the SIR Kermack – McKendrick model, the nonlinear system of firstorder differential equations has an approximate solution in the form of logistic functions based on the profile of the normal probability distribution F. The obtained distribution AN(t) has an analytical form and is threeparameter, and all these parameters of the distribution can be represented in a fuzzy form (fuzzified). Thus, T is a fuzzy random variable (FRV) and AN(t) takes the form of a fuzzy function of general form.
Results. The form of the distribution function AN(t) and the density distribution an(t) with fuzzy parameters of transition frequencies β and γ from cohort S to cohort I (infected) and from cohort I to cohort R, respectively, are obtained.
Conclusion. Similar distributions, given on the time axis t, can be obtained for all other cohorts.
