Model Notation Description
ζ{1},{3} Fluctuations about the infected steady state
ζ1, ζ2 Fluctuations about the susceptible and infected steady state respectively (vaccination model)
ϕ(t) Proportion of infected individuals (mean-field)
ψ(t) Proportion of susceptible individuals (mean-field)
σ(t) = β(t)ϕ(t)ψ(t) Mean-field equation of the rate of incidence
nc(t) Number of new cases at time t
λ(t) Rate of Incidence (rate of the Poisson process)
η Fluctuations about the Rate of Incidence steady state
Ext Extinction Simulations (social-distancing & vaccination)
Emg Emergence Simulations
Fix Simulations with fixed parameters (null)

values in braces directs to the model number which was implemented at that value. Superscript 1: SIS with social distancing; superscript 2: SIS with vaccination; superscript 3: SIS emergence. Parameters without braces are shared amongst all models.
