First Principles Modeling of Nonlinear Incidence Rates in Seasonal Epidemics

In this paper we used a general stochastic processes framework to derive from first principles the incidence rate function that characterizes epidemic models. We investigate a particular case, the Liu-Hethcote-van den Driessche's (LHD) incidence rate function, which results from modeling the nu...
