nbTransmission - Naive Bayes Transmission Analysis
Estimates the relative transmission probabilities between
cases in an infectious disease outbreak or cluster using naive
Bayes. Included are various functions to use these
probabilities to estimate transmission parameters such as the
generation/serial interval and reproductive number as well as
finding the contribution of covariates to the probabilities and
visualizing results. The ideal use is for an infectious disease
dataset with metadata on the majority of cases but more
informative data such as contact tracing or pathogen whole
genome sequencing on only a subset of cases. For a detailed
description of the methods see Leavitt et al. (2020)
