Estimating R_e and overdispersion in secondary cases from the size of identical sequence clusters of SARS-CoV-2

Fig 4

Parameter estimates based on the size distribution of identical SARS-CoV-2 sequence clusters in Switzerland, Denmark and Germany in 2021.

A: Effective reproduction number . B: Dispersion parameter k. C: Testing probability. The estimates are based on monthly time windows of identical sequence clusters. For each month the estimated mean and 95% credible interval of the posterior distribution (in black) are shown. values are compared to external estimates based on laboratory-confirmed cases (in blue, from github.com/covid-19-Re [7]).
