Comparing and linking machine learning and semi-mechanistic models for the predictability of endemic measles dynamics.

Measles is one the best-documented and most-mechanistically-studied non-linear infectious disease dynamical systems. However, systematic investigation into the comparative performance of traditional mechanistic models and machine learning approaches in forecasting the transmission dynamics of this p...
