Estimating the instantaneous reproduction number (Rt) by using particle filter [PDF]
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Background: Monitoring the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requires accurate estimation of the effective reproduction number (Rt). However, existing methods for calculating Rt may yield biased estimates if important real-world factors,

rtestim: Time-varying reproduction number estimation with trend filtering. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyTo understand the transmissibility and spread of infectious diseases, epidemiologists turn to estimates of the instantaneous reproduction number. While many estimation approaches exist, their utility may be limited.

Increasing situational awareness through nowcasting of the reproduction number [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthBackgroundThe time-varying reproduction number R is a critical variable for situational awareness during infectious disease outbreaks; however, delays between infection and reporting of cases hinder its accurate estimation in real-time.

Net Reproduction Number as a Real-Time Metric of Population Reproducibility [PDF]
JMIR Public Health and SurveillanceThe total fertility rate (TFR) is a biased estimate of the population reproductive potential when there is a sex-ratio imbalance at birth, and it does not account for the mortality of women of childbearing age.

The Dynamic Effective Reproductive Number of COVID-19 during the Epidemic in Iran
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2022 Background: We aimed to determine the generation time, the best model for estimating reproduction number (R), and to estimate the basic reproduction number (R0) and effective reproduction number (Rt) for COVID-19 in Iran.

Convex Optimization of the Basic Reproduction Number
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2022 The basic reproduction number $R_0$ is a fundamental quantity in epidemiological modeling, reflecting the typical number of secondary infections that arise from a single infected individual. While $R_0$ is widely known to scientists, policymakers, and the general public, it has received comparatively little attention in the controls community.

Dynamic mapping of dengue basic reproduction number
Results in Physics, 2021 We developed a method to produce time-varying maps for dengue transmission risk, using the Ross-Macdonald framework and differential equations to estimate spatially the basic reproduction number (R0) of a vector-borne disease.
