Many important questions in infectious disease epidemiology involve associations between covariates (e.g., age or vaccination status) and infectiousness or susceptibility. Because disease transmission produces dependent outcomes, these questions are...

Journal Article
Ball, F., & Neal, P. (in press). THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ALIVE IN A BRANCHING PROCESS GIVEN ONLY TIMES OF DEATHS. Advances in Applied Probability,

The study of many population growth models are complicated by only partial observation of the underlying stochastic process driving the model. For example, in an epidemic outbreak we might know when indivdiuals show symptoms to a disease, and are rem...
