modelSSE:Modelling Infectious Disease Superspreading from Contact Tracing
Data
Comprehensive analytical tools are provided to characterize infectious disease superspreading from contact
tracing surveillance data. The underlying theoretical
frameworks of this toolkit include branching process with
transmission heterogeneity (Lloyd-Smith et al. (2005)
<doi:10.1038/nature04153>), case cluster size distribution
(Nishiura et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.10.039>,
Blumberg et al. (2014) <doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1004452>, and
Kucharski and Althaus (2015)
<doi:10.2807/1560-7917.ES2015.20.25.21167>), and decomposition
of reproduction number (Zhao et al. (2022)
<doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010281>).
