Table 2 Observables and unknown parameters in model setup applicable to a season. The definitions of the terms can be found in Table 1. We assume the values in \(\textbf{P}\) remain constant across all seasons, while all other variables/parameters vary depending on the chosen season. The standard deviation of seasonal dengue data is represented by sd.
