Quantifying superspreading for COVID-19 using Poisson mixture distributions

2020-11-30

Abstract excerpt

The number of secondary cases is an important parameter for the control of infectious diseases. When individual variation in disease transmission is present, like for COVID-19, the number of secondary cases is often modelled using a negative binomial distribution. However, this may not be the best distribution to describe the underlying transmission process. We propose the use of three other offspring distribution...
