The reproduction number $R_t$ in structured and nonstructured populations
Using daily counts of newly infected individuals, Wallinga and Teunis (WT) introduced aconceptually simple method to estimate the number of secondary cases per primary case ($R_t$)for a given day. The method requires an estimate of the generation interval probability density function (pdf),which sp...
