.update_chain_stat

Determine and update the chain statistic being tracked

internal

Provides methods to simulate and analyse the size and length
of branching processes with an arbitrary offspring distribution. These
can be used, for example, to analyse the distribution of chain sizes
or length of infectious disease outbreaks, as discussed in Farrington
et al. (2003) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/4.2.279>.
