Title: Self-exciting Point Processes: Infections and Implementations,
Abstract: This is a comment on Reinhart's "Review of Self-Exciting Spatio-Temporal
Point Processes and Their Applications" (arXiv:1708.02647v1). I contribute some
experiences from modelling the spread of infectious diseases. Furthermore, I
try to complement the review with regard to the availability of software for
the described models, which I think is essential in "paving the way for new
uses".
