\title{Data on the 1972 smallpox epidemic in Kosovo}
\format{A list of two elements:
\itemize{
\item \strong{incidence:} a vector containing 57 days of observation,
\item \strong{si_distr:} a vector containing a set of 46 probabilities.

\description{
This data set gives:
\enumerate{
\item the daily incidence of onset of symptoms in Kosovo during the 1972
smallpox epidemic (see source and references),
\item the discrete daily distribution of the serial interval for smallpox,
assuming a shifted Gamma distribution with mean 22.4 days, standard
deviation 6.1 days and shift 1 day (see references).
}
}
\examples{
## load data on smallpox in Kosovo in 1972
data("Smallpox1972")
## estimate the reproduction number (method "non_parametric_si")
res <- estimate_R(Smallpox1972$incidence, method="non_parametric_si",
config = make_config(list(
t_start = seq(27, 51),
t_end = seq(33, 57),
si_distr = Smallpox1972$si_distr)))
plot(res)
## the second plot produced shows, at each each day,
## the estimate of the reproduction number
## over the 7-day window finishing on that day.
