39. For the purposes of fitting to measles incidence time series, the term-time forced SEIR model is sometimes preferred. The sinusoidally forced SEIR model, however, reproduces the behavior of the term-time forced SEIR model at a lower level of forcing (see comment (10) in Ref.). Here, we use Eq. as it will somewhat simplify the analysis of stochastic effects in the SEIR model with a periodically varying contact rate still allowing us to understand the main mechanisms at play.
