0-64 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In a first step, we initialised simulations with one index case. |
| T25 |
65-209 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For each primary case, we generated secondary cases according to a negative-binomial offspring distribution with mean R0 and dispersion k [7,8]. |
| T26 |
210-441 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The dispersion parameter k quantifies the variability in the number of secondary cases, and can be interpreted as a measure of the impact of superspreading events (the lower the value of k, the higher the impact of superspreading). |
| T27 |
442-583 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The generation time interval D was assumed to be gamma-distributed with a shape parameter of 2, and a mean that varied between 7 and 14 days. |
| T28 |
584-712 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We explored a wide range of parameter combinations (Table) and ran 1,000 stochastic simulations for each individual combination. |
| T29 |
713-916 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This corresponds to a total of 3.52 million one-index-case simulations that were run on UBELIX (http://www.id.unibe.ch/hpc), the high performance computing cluster at the University of Bern, Switzerland. |
