The asymptotic final size distribution of reducible multitype Reed-Frost processes.
The asymptotic final size distribution of a multitype Reed-Frost process, a chain-binomial model for the spread of infection in a finite, closed multitype population, is derived in the case of reducible contact pattern between types. The results are obtained using techniques developed for the irreducible case.
