Joint Estimation of Generation Time and Incubation Period for Coronavirus Disease 2019

A statistical framework was developed to jointly estimate the distribution of generation time and incubation period from human-to-human transmission pairs of COVID-19, accounting for sampling biases due to exponential growth of the epidemic during the data collection period.
