Description

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>).
