Description
The paper "Introducing the Outbreak Threshold in Epidemiology" describes a simple metric that can be used to determine outbreaks or transmission extinction. This could act as a useful function alongside `probability_epidemic()` and `probability_extinct()`.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the paper “Introducing the Outbreak Threshold in Epidemiology” to identify the proposed metric, then inspect the existing `probability_epidemic()` and `probability_extinct()` entry points for their conventions. Done means the outbreak-threshold calculation is available as a companion function with behavior aligned to the paper and the existing API.
