Misspecification of the generation time distribution and its impact on Rt estimates in structured populations
Ioana Bouros, Robin Thompson, David Gavaghan +1
Due to its ability to summarise 'real-time' epidemic behaviour, the time-dependent reproduction number, Rt, is a useful metric for tracking pathogen transmission and quantifying th…

The time-dependent reproduction number for epidemics in heterogeneous populations
Ioana Bouros, Robin Thompson, David Gavaghan +1
The time-dependent reproduction number Rt can be used to track pathogen transmission and to assess the efficacy of interventions. This quantity can be estimated by fitting renewal…
