branchingprocess: Calculate Outbreak Probabilities for a Branching Process Model

Quantify outbreak risk posed by individual importers of a transmissible pathogen. Input parameters of negative binomial offspring distributions for the number of transmissions from each infected individual and initial number of infected. Calculate probabilities of final outbreak size and generations of transmission, as described in Toth et al. (2015) <doi:10.3201/eid2108.150170> and Toth et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.epidem.2016.04.002>.
