The study found that the serial interval and incubation period of monkeypox virus Clade Ib are shorter for putative sexual versus non-sexual transmission, indicating that epidemiological context ...

Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNMs) have gained popularity for modeling nonlinear lagged relationships between exposures and outcomes. When applied to spatially referenced data, these models mus...

Traditional spatio-temporal models for areal data typically begin with spatial structure imposed at the level of random effects and later extend to include temporal dynamics. We propose an alternative...

Author summary Epidemiological delay distributions play a key role in outbreak analyses and in modeling infectious diseases. The serial interval is the time from illness onset in a primary case to ill...
