EpiEstim App

This web application generates an estimate of infectious disease transmissibility throughout an outbreak. The time-dependent reproduction number (R) is inferred from disease incidence time series and patient data or estimates of the serial interval. For more information about how to use this application, please see the wiki. For the most part, we assume that users will want to upload their own data, however there are also some example datasets built in, to illustrate how the application might be used.
