We published a fun, math-y analysis of epidemic "burnout" in #PNAS recently. It's stuff I've been thinking about for decades, but #ToddParsons and #DavidJDEarn made it happen. Also with @bbolker.bsky.social. Inspired to some extent by #JulietPulliam. https://www.pnas.org/eprint/VGKAKXZ4BQFDAYPJYPES/full
Sam AbbottNew preprint with the alternative title "What I wish I had known about delay distribution estimation in January 2020"
Featuring Poppy the puppy as a guest contributor!

Sam Abbott: Estimating epidemiological delay distributions for infectious diseases
I summarise our research on refining delay distribution estimates in epidemic modeling, a journey prompted by my general confusion. We explore and compare various approaches, drawing insights from simulations and Ebola virus disease outbreak data, and suggest paths for future improvements. Also featuring Poppy, the puppy, who is currently gnawing on my hand and occasionally archiving my emails.
