A flexible framework for local-level estimation of the effective reproductive number in geographic regions with sparse data

Abstract Background Our research focuses on local-level estimation of the effective reproductive number, which describes the transmissibility of an infectious disease and represents the average number of individuals one infectious person infects at a given time. The ability to accurately estimate th...
