Estimating the basic reproduction number at the beginning of an outbreak. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 We compare several popular methods of estimating the basic reproduction number, R0, focusing on the early stages of an epidemic, and assuming weekly reports of new infecteds.

On the basic reproduction number in semi-Markov switching networks [PDF]
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 Basic reproduction number $ \mathcal {R}_0 $ in network epidemic dynamics is studied in the case of stochastic regime-switching networks. For generality, the dependence between successive networks is considered to follow a continuous time semi-Markov ...

The Basic Reproduction Number as a Loop Gain Matrix. [PDF]
IEEE Control Syst Lett, 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic and the disordered reactions of most governments made the importance of mathematical modelling and model-based predictions evident, even outside the scientific community. The basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] quickly entered the common jargon, as a concise but effective tool to communicate the spreading power of a ...
