H1N1 serial interval

Description

Serial interval (in its core definition, i.e. the time delay between symptom onset between pairs of infectors and infectees), taken from traced cases of H1N1 viruses.

Vector of values that represents the time lag between symptoms onset for pairs of infector/infectee, for a dataset of complete traced cases. Each value accounts for a pair of infector/infectee. This serial interval is often substitued for the generation time distribution, as it is easier to observe.
