The estimation of the effective reproductive number from disease outbreak data

The estimation of the effective reproductive number from disease outbreak data

We consider a single outbreak susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR)model and corresponding estimation procedures for theeffective reproductive number $\mathcal{R}(t)$. We discuss theestimation of the underlying SIR parameters with ageneralized least squares (GLS) estimationtechnique. We do this in th...
