We generalise the approach followed by Dolgoarshinnykh (2009) in the case of the SIR epidemic model. Thanks to an additional assumption which is satisfied in many examples, we simplify the recent work of Kratz and Pardoux (2017). %G English %Z SARIMA %L hal-01330256 %U https://hal.science/hal-01330256 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014- %~ SARIMA %~ ANR
