Simulation of an α-Stable Time-Changed SIR Model

Starting from the stochastic SIR model, we give a time-changed SIR model obtained via an inverse \(\alpha \)-stable subordinator. In particular, we study the distribution of its inter-jump times and we use it to describe a simulation algorithm for the model. Finally, such algorithm is tested and used to describe graphically some properties of the model.
