The signal is not flushed away: Inferring the effective reproduction number from wastewater data in small populations
Isaac H. Goldstein, Daniel M. Parker, Sunny Jiang +2
The effective reproduction number is an important descriptor of an infectious disease epidemic. In small populations, ideally we would estimate the effective reproduction number us…

Semiparametric inference of effective reproduction number dynamics from wastewater pathogen surveillance data
Isaac H. Goldstein, Daniel M. Parker, Sunny Jiang +1
Concentrations of pathogen genomes measured in wastewater have recently become available as a new data source to use when modeling the spread of infectious diseases. One promising…
