Inferring generation-interval distributions from contact-tracing data

2019-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Generation intervals, defined as the time between when an individual is infected and when that individual infects another person, link two key quantities that describe an epidemic: the reproductive number, , and the rate of exponential growth, r . Generation intervals are often measured through contact tracing by identifying who infected whom. We study how observed intervals differ from “intrinsic” intervals tha...
