Probabilistic transmission models incorporating sequencing data for healthcare-associated Clostridioides difficile outperform heuristic rules and identify strain-specific differences in transmission
Table 1
Transmission model parameters and priors.
For parameters constrained to be positive, normal priors were truncated at zero. In addition to the listed parameters, augmented data included the unobserved transmission tree, consisting of infection times and sources denoted T and the set of unobserved recovery times denoted R.
