Transmission Increase

Calculating the Transmission Increase from Factors

Usage,

calculate_transmission_increase(R_w, rho, D = 4.7, omega = 0)

Arguments

R_w

a numeric, the baseline effective reproduction number

rho

a numeric, the estimated transmission advantage

D

a numeric, the generation time (average)

omega

a numeric with default of NULL indicating proportion of the population that has immunity against earlier variants

Examples

c(4,6) * calculate_transmission_increase(R_w = .8, .43, D = 5.2, omega = NULL)
#> [1] 11.18 16.77

c(4,6) * calculate_transmission_increase(R_w = .8, .43, D = 5.2, omega = .25)
#> [1] 33.54 50.31
