The incidence-based dynamic reproduction index: accurate determination, diagnostic sensitivity, and predictive power
2022-04-16
Abstract excerpt
Two methods of calculating the reproduction index from daily new infection data are considered, one by using the generation time t G as a shift ( R G ), and an incidence-based method directly derived from the differential equation system of an SIR epidemic dynamics model ( R I ). While the former is shown to have few in common with the true reproduction index, we find that the latter provides a sensitive detection...
