rtestim: Time-varying reproduction number estimation with trend filtering. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology
To 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.

Differences between the true reproduction number and the apparent reproduction number of an epidemic time series

Epidemics
The time-varying reproduction number R(t) measures the number of new infections per infectious individual and is closely correlated with the time series of infection incidence by definition. The timings of actual infections are rarely known, and analysis

Net Reproduction Number as a Real-Time Metric of Population Reproducibility

JMIR Public Health and Surveillance
The 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.

Epstein-Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer of the gingiva: A self-limiting disorder of the immune compromised that can present with aggressive clinico-radiological and histomorphological features

Oral Oncology Reports, 2023
Oral ulcerations of the gingiva or mucosa require differential diagnosis. One of these diagnoses may be Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive mucocutaneous ulcer.Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is a rare diagnosis and was first

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.

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.
