    Snippet: For scenario 1, 12G is an unbiased point estimate of R. A simple binomial likelihood function with probability 12R can be used to derive confidence intervals for R. These intervals capture uncertainty arising from sampling; but may underestimate other sources of uncertainty if the total number of chains of transmission (both detected and undetected) in the study population remains small (see Text S1)......
