Modeling outbreak data: Analysis of a 2012 Ebola virus disease epidemic in DRC

We describe two approaches to modeling data from a small to moderate-sized epidemic outbreak. The first approach is based on a branching process approximation and direct analysis of the transmission network, whereas the second one is based on a survival model derived from the classical SIR equations...
