Probability of infection from experimental data for Rotavirus () compared to the the Exponential, Beta-Poisson and Cumulative Dose models.

The estimated parameters are for the Exponential model, for the Beta-Poisson model [31] and for the Cumulative Dose model. (*) The dose in the original trial was administered in concentrations, to work with discrete pathogens as required by the Cumulative Dose model, we assumed that the concentration of 9×10−2 is equivalent to 9 pathogens. As a consequence the concentration of 9×10−3 could not be tested since it is a fraction of a pathogen. The probability of infection for a single pathogen is 10−3. This assumption is only required by the Cumulative Dose model.
