a) Looking for output that looks something like this. Students vary beta and nu. The point is that when beta/nu is small the mean over simulations is below deterministic solution because of fade-out. Even when beta/nu is relatively large, the solutions don't match exactly.
b) Students vary population size (N), and see how deterministic and stochastic solutions compare in each case.
N=400
N = 200
N = 100
N = 50
c) Students change population size to see where fade-outs start to happen. This time we're looking at all the individual simulations, not just the average across simulations.
N = 100
N = 50
N = 10
Then do a parameter plot of the proportion of simulations that have faded-out by end of simulation, against N.
d) Epidemic scenario - start from one infected individual, rather than from steady-state level.
Blue line shows proportion of simulations that have faded-out, increasing with time.
