Angular reproduction numbers improve estimates of transmissibility when disease generation times are misspecified or time-varying
Abstract We introduce the angular reproduction number Ω, which measures time-varying changes in epidemic transmissibility resulting from variations in both the effective reproduction number R , and generation time distribution w . Predominant approaches for tracking pathogen spread either infer R or the epidemic growth rate r . However, R …
