Forward-looking serial intervals correctly link epidemic growth to reproduction numbers [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020
SignificanceThe generation and serial interval distributions are key, but different, quantities in outbreak analyses. Recent studies suggest that the two distributions give different estimates of the reproduction numberRas inferred from the observed growth rater.

The transmissibility of novel Coronavirus in the early stages of the 2019-20 outbreak in Wuhan: Exploring initial point-source exposure sizes and durations using scenario analysis [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2020
Background: The current novel coronavirus outbreak appears to have originated from a point-source exposure event at Huanan seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China. There is still uncertainty around the scale and duration of this exposure event. This has

Contact intervals, survival analysis of epidemic data, and estimation of R_0

open access: yes, 2010
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 interval.

Improved time-varying reproduction numbers using the generation interval for COVID-19

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2023
Estimating key epidemiological parameters, such as incubation period, serial interval (SI), generation interval (GI) and latent period, is essential to quantify the transmissibility and effects of various interventions of COVID-19.

Serial position functions for recognition of olfactory stimuli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Two experiments examined item recognition memory for sequentially presented odours. Following a sequence of six odours participants were immediately presented with a series of 2-alternative forced choice (2AFC) test odours.

Detection of T Wave Peak for Serial Comparisons of JTp Interval [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Electrocardiogram (ECG) studies of drug-induced prolongation of the interval between the J point and the peak of the T wave (JTp interval) distinguished QT prolonging drugs that predominantly block the delayed potassium rectifier current from those affecting multiple cardiac repolarisation ion channel currents.

Serial intervals observed in SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 variant cases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
AbstractRapid growth of the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.617.2 has been observed in many countries. The factors driving the recent rapid growth of COVID-19 cases could be attributed to shorten generation intervals or higher transmissibility (effective reproduction number, R), or both. Establishing the reasons for the observed rapid growth is key for outbreak

Analysis of the impact of COVID-19 variants and vaccination on the time-varying reproduction number: statistical methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global health systems, requiring the monitoring of infection waves and strategies to control transmission. Estimating the time-varying reproduction number is crucial for understanding the epidemic

Adaptation Reduces Variability of the Neuronal Population Code

open access: yes, 2011
Sequences of events in noise-driven excitable systems with slow variables often show serial correlations among their intervals of events. Here, we employ a master equation for general non-renewal processes to calculate the interval and count statistics ...
