Angular reproduction numbers improve estimates of transmissibility when disease generation times are misspecified or time-varying

2022-10-21

Abstract excerpt

We introduce the angular reproduction number Ω, which measures time-varying changes in epidemic transmissibility resulting from variations in both the effective reproduction number R , and generation time distribution w . Predominant approaches for tracking pathogen spread either infer R or the epidemic growth rate r . However, R is biased by mismatches between the assumed and true w , while r is difficult to inte...
