Transmission kernels for sheep and goat pox and the impact of assumed outbreak duration on kernel selection and estimates

Kernel	Function	Outbreak duration
		15 days	30 days	60 days	90 days
Fat‐tailed	$$\text{k(d)}={(1+{\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_0}\right)}^2)}^{-1}$$	AIC = 3,240 d0 = 6.37	AIC = 3,214 d0 = 5.67	AIC = 3,222 d0 = 5.02	AIC = 3,287 d0 = 4.45
Gaussian	$$\text{k(d)}=\exp (-{\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_0}\right)}^2)$$	AIC = 3,258 d0 = 18.5	AIC = 3,237 d0 = 17.5	AIC = 3,248 d0 = 10.8	AIC = 3,313 d0 = 10.1
Exponential	$$\text{k(d)}=\exp (-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_0})$$	AIC = 3,243 d0 = 10.3	AIC = 3,220 d0 = 10.1	AIC = 3,230 d0 = 10.8	AIC = 3,295 d0 = 11.4
Alternative fat‐tailed	$$\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{d})=\left(1+{\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{{\mathrm{d}}_0}\right)}^{-\alpha }\right.$$	AIC = 3,229 d0 = 1.03 α = 1.20	AIC = 3,208 d0 = 2.23 α = 1.47	AIC = 3,217 d0 = 2.27 α = 1.60	AIC = 3,280 d0 = 1.90 α = 1.60
