Quantifying Transmission Heterogeneity Using Both Pathogen Phylogenies and Incidence Time Series
Heterogeneity in individual-level transmissibility can be quantified by the dispersion parameter k of the offspring distribution. Quantifying heterogeneity is important as it affects other parameter estimates, it modulates the degree of unpredictability of an epidemic, and it needs to be accounted f...
