Four competing models considered in the infectious disease example of Section 4.1

Model	Event type	Update	Rate
1	Infected	$S(t)-1$, $I(t)+1$	$b_1^{(1)}S(t)$
2	Infected	$S(t)-1$, $I(t)+1$	$[b_1^{(2)}+b_2^{(2)}I(t)]S(t)$
3	Exposed	$S(t)-1$, $E(t)+1$	$b_1^{(3)}S(t)$
	Infected	$E(t)-1$, $I(t)+1$	${\gamma }^{(3)}E(t)$
4	Exposed	$S(t)-1$, $E(t)+1$	$[b_1^{(4)}+b_2^{(4)}I(t)]S(t)$
	Infected	$E(t)-1$, $I(t)+1$	${\gamma }^{(4)}E(t)$
