Household transmissibility of avian influenza A (H7N9) virus, China, February to May 2013 and October 2013 to March 2014.

To study human-to-human transmissibility of the avian influenza A (H7N9) virus in China, household contact information was collected for 125 index cases during the spring wave (February to May 2013), and for 187 index cases during the winter wave (October 2013 to March 2014). Using a statistical model, we found evidence for human-to-human transmission, but such transmission is not sustainable. ...

In the Shannon model, the errors are drawn from a probability distribution whereas they are chosen adversarially in the Hamming model. In the rest of this lecture, we will introduce the Haming model. First, we give an example with a concrete setting of parameters before giving the...
