Usage

davies_age_extended

Format

A data frame of the probability of transmission from a case to a contact. There are 101 rows and 4 variables.

age

from 0 to 100

clinical_fraction

Estimate of fraction with clinical symptoms, or the age-specific proportion of infections resulting in clinical symptoms inferred by applying a smoothing spline to the mean estimates from Davies et al.

davies_original

Age specific parameters of the relative susceptibility to infection inferred from a smoothing-spline estimate of the mean relative susceptibility estimate from Davies et al.

davies_updated

Re-estimated parameter of the susceptibility profile for under-16s that is estimated in a similar way but to the age-distribution of infections in England from the UK ONS prevalence survey rather than case counts which may undercount children
