Anchoring the mean generation time in the SEIR to mitigate biases in ℜ <sub>0</sub> estimates due to uncertainty in the distribution of the epidemiological delays
2023-01-16
Abstract excerpt
The basic reproduction number, ℜ 0 , is of paramount importance in the study of infectious disease dynamics. Primarily, ℜ 0 serves as an indicator of the transmission potential of an emerging infectious disease and the effort required to control the invading pathogen. However, its estimates from compartmental models are strongly conditioned by assumptions in the model structure, such as the distributions of the...
