title: 'epichains: Simulating and Analysing Transmission Chain Statistics Using Branching
  Process Models'
version: 0.1.1.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.epichains
abstract: Provides methods to simulate and analyse the size and length of branching
  processes with an arbitrary offspring distribution. These can be used, for example,
  to analyse the distribution of chain sizes or length of infectious disease outbreaks,
  as discussed in Farrington et al. (2003) <https://doi.org/10.1093/biostatistics/4.2.279>.
