Methods for estimating disease transmission rates: Evaluating the precision of Poisson regression and two novel methods

Precise estimates of disease transmission rates are critical for epidemiological simulation models. Most often these rates must be estimated from longitudinal field data, which are costly and time-consuming to conduct. Consequently, measures to reduce cost like increased sampling intervals or subsam...
