Inferring time-varying generation time, serial interval, and incubation period distributions for COVID-19
Inferring time-varying generation time, serial interval, and incubation period distributions for COVID-19
The generation time distribution, reflecting the time between successive infections in transmission chains, is a key epidemiological parameter for describing COVID-19 transmission dynamics. However, because exact infection times are rarely known, it is often approximated by the serial interval distribution. This approximation holds under the assumption that infectors and infectees …
