Parametric survival analysis can be used to handle dependent happenings in infectious disease transmission data by estimating failure time distributions in ordered pairs of individuals rather than individuals. The failure time in the ordered pair ij is the time from the onset of infectiousness in i to infectious contact from i to j, where an infectious contact is sufficient to infect j if he or she is susceptible. This failure time is called the contact interval, and its distribution can be… Expand

Combining epidemiological and ecological methods to quantify social effects on Escherichia coli transmission
TLDR
Transmission experiments can be combined with real-time location data collection and processing procedures to create an effective framework for quantifying sociobehavioural effects on microparasite transmission, and it is shown that observed effects were not consistent between similar populations.

TLDR
Nonparametric methods based on contact intervals for the analysis of infectious disease data and the behavior of these methods in simulations are studied and used to analyze household surveillance data from the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic. Expand

TLDR
Semiparametric relative-risk regression models for infectious disease data are introduced and will be able to address important scientific questions about emerging infectious diseases with greater clarity, flexibility, and rigor than current statistical methods allow. Expand
Generation interval contraction and epidemic data analysis.
TLDR
This paper specifies a general stochastic SIR epidemic model and proves that the mean generation interval decreases when susceptible persons are at risk of infectious contact from multiple sources, opening a promising avenue of methodological research in infectious disease epidemiology. Expand
A discrete-time model for the statistical analysis of infectious disease incidence data.
TLDR
A discrete-time model is devised for the per-time-unit distribution of infectious disease cases in a sample of households and it is observed that decreasing risk of infection is associated with increasing age. Expand
Randomization for the susceptibility effect of an infectious disease intervention.
TLDR
It is shown that under a widely recommended randomization design, the direct effect may fail to recover the sign of the true susceptibility effect of the intervention in a randomized trial when outcomes are contagious. Expand
Molecular Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Survival Analysis and Algorithms Linking Phylogenies to Transmission Trees
TLDR
It is proved that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the possible assignments of interior node hosts and the transmission trees simultaneously consistent with the phylogeny and the epidemiologic data on person, place, and time. Expand
Randomization for the direct effect of an infectious disease intervention in a clustered study population
Randomized trials of infectious disease interventions often focus on populations of connected or potentially interacting individuals. When the pathogen of interest is contagious (transmissible)… Expand
Statistical studies of infectious disease incidence
Methods for the analysis of data on the incidence of an infectious disease are reviewed, with an emphasis on important objectives that such analyses should address and identifying areas where further… Expand

We argue that the time from the onset of infectiousness to infectious contact, which we call the "contact interval," is a better basis for inference in epidemic data than the generation or serial… Expand
Risk ratios for contagious outcomes
TLDR
A mathematical definition of infectious disease transmission within clusters is provided, based on the canonical stochastic susceptible–infective model, and the individual-level ratio of instantaneous infection risks is defined as the inferential target and evaluated as an approximation of this quantity.
