    Snippet: The mean of the prior distribution foris chosen as 100m based on our previous findings (1) . A beta distribution, Beta(a, b) , 266 is chosen as a conjugate prior for the incubation period parameter p, since it is a probability (p oe where -= (-, -, ', "), so p can be updated e ciently in the MCMC by drawing from this full conditional distribution rather than using a random walk Metropolis-Hastings update. 1 ≠ Aj,0) for Rj,0 = T + 1. by repeatin.....
    Document: The mean of the prior distribution foris chosen as 100m based on our previous findings (1) . A beta distribution, Beta(a, b) , 266 is chosen as a conjugate prior for the incubation period parameter p, since it is a probability (p oe where -= (-, -, ', "), so p can be updated e ciently in the MCMC by drawing from this full conditional distribution rather than using a random walk Metropolis-Hastings update. 1 ≠ Aj,0) for Rj,0 = T + 1. by repeating the following steps. Note that throughout the following we suppress notation of conditional dependencies in the 320 likelihood terms where they are obvious to maintain legibility. The algorithm also accounts for the fact that some individuals 321 were born or migrated or died during the study when updating the unknown pre-symptomatic infection times and asymptomatic 322 infection and recovery times (using the birth/migration/death times as bounds on the proposed unobserved times), but we 323 omit these details from the following description for simplicity.
