Measurements of individual-level infectivity, susceptibility and baseline infection risk to biological or social contagion and sensitivity to environmental factors are made for large number of entities from their contact relation, sequential infection occurrences and environmental factors, using computer implemented Markov Chain Monte Carlo and likelihood maximization for Bayesian estimations of an integrated latent trait response model. The method is useful for precise and efficient contagion control and prevention.
