課程概述

We begin with understanding of the disease occurrence and continue on finding such important epidemiologic characteristics as a time-varied reproduction number. The course will mainly be based on explaining two methods for finding the reproduction number: Wallinga-Teunis method and Cori et al. method. Additionally, the use of some freely accessible R packages will be demonstrated. 

課程目標
The aim of the course is to give practical guide for students to perform first steps analysing the epidemiological data, especially to estimate the strength of spread of infectious diseases with particular focus on the spread of COVID-19. 
課程要求
Familiarity with random distributions. Basics in R programing language (you may go with other languages like Python or Julia if you prefer). Interest in infectious diseases modeling
