In parametric approach, serial interval is typically assumed to have Gamma distribution, so it would be perhaps useful to include a function
in the package. Even the example of
r2R0
is not really fortunate as it starts frommu
andsigma
being known, yet, it first transforms them to a discretized distribution, and then uses the empirical distribution formula from Wallinga and Lipitsch, which is obviously a convoluted approach, with a loss of precision.As a comparison,
r2R0
gives the valuesfor the example, while the true values according to my calculation are
