Outbreak analytics pipelines
Read delays
Instructor Note
The objective of the assessment above is to assess the interpretation of a larger or shorter generation time.

Access to the reference documentation (Help files) for these
functions is accessible with the three double-colon notation:

Quantifying transmission
Instructor Note
This tutorial illustrates the usage of epinow() to
estimate the time-varying reproduction number and infection times.
Learners should understand the necessary inputs to the model and the
limitations of the model output.
Create a short-term forecast
Simulating transmission
Instructor Note
By the end of this tutorial, learners should be able to replicate the above image on their own computers.
Choosing an appropriate model
Instructor Note
The focus of this tutorial is understanding existing models to decide if they are appropriate for a defined question.
Modelling interventions
Instructor Note
In this tutorial different types of intervention and how they can be modelled are introduced. Learners should be able to understand the underlying mechanism of these interventions (e.g. reduce contact rate) as well as how to implement the code to include such interventions.
Comparing public health outcomes of interventions
Instructor Note
In this tutorial we introduce the concept of the counter factual and how to compare scenarios (counter factual versus intervention) against each other.
