Complexity of the Basic Reproduction Number (R0) [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 The basic reproduction number (R0), also called the basic reproduction ratio or rate or the basic reproductive rate, is an epidemiologic metric used to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents.

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.
