Comprehensive analytical tools are provided to characterize infectious disease superspreading from contact tracing surveillance data. The underlying theoretical frameworks of this toolkit include branching process with transmission heterogeneity (Lloyd-Smith et al. (2005) doi:10.1038/nature04153), case cluster size distribution (Nishiura et al. (2012) doi:10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.10.039, Blumberg et al. (2014) doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1004452, and Kucharski and Althaus (2015) doi:10.2807/1560-7917.ES2015.20.25.21167), and decomposition of reproduction number (Zhao et al. (2022) doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010281).
