Estimating the effective reproduction number for heterogeneous models using incidence data [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The effective reproduction number, [Formula: see text], plays a key role in the study of infectious diseases, indicating the current average number of new infections caused by an infected individual in an epidemic process. Estimation methods for the time

Estimating effective reproduction number revisited [PDF]
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Accurately estimating the effective reproduction number is crucial for characterizing the transmissibility of infectious diseases to optimize interventions and responses during epidemic outbreaks. In this study, we improve the estimation of the effective

EpiMix: A novel method to estimate effective reproduction number [PDF]
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Transmission potential of a pathogen, often quantified by the time-varying reproduction number Rt, provides the current pace of infection for a disease and indicates whether an emerging epidemic is under control. In this study, we proposed a novel method,

Interpretation of the Basic and Effective Reproduction Number [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2020 In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number (R0) is a term that describes the expected number of infections generated by 1 case in a susceptible population.

Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19 [PDF]
Journal of Mathematics in Industry, 2021 In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventually dies out.

EpiRegress: A Method to Estimate and Predict the Time-Varying Effective Reproduction Number [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 The time-varying reproduction (Rt) provides a real-time estimate of pathogen transmissibility and may be influenced by exogenous factors such as mobility and mitigation measures which are not directly related to epidemiology parameters and observations ...
