Type of errors in the estimated transmission tree.
The left figure represents the transmission tree of a simulated outbreak with 5 cases; there are 2 introductions (clusters) and 3 transmission events. The right figure represents possible estimates of the transmission tree of the simulated outbreak. The vertical ordering of cases in the left and the right figures is identical. The upper right figure shows errors in which an incorrect infector is identified, but the incorrect infector belongs to the same cluster as the true infector (type A errors), the lower right figure represents incorrect identifications of the infector in which the incorre...
