title: 'earlyR: Estimation of Transmissibility in the Early Stages of a Disease Outbreak'
version: 0.0.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.earlyR
abstract: Implements a simple, likelihood-based estimation of the reproduction number
  (R0) using a branching process with a Poisson likelihood. This model requires knowledge
  of the serial interval distribution, and dates of symptom onsets. Infectiousness
  is determined by weighting R0 by the probability mass function of the serial interval
  on the corresponding day. It is a simplified version of the model introduced by
  Cori et al. (2013) <https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwt133>.
