Enhancing Time-Varying Reproduction Number Estimates with Behavior and Surveillance Data

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background</bold> : Accurate estimation of the time-varying effective reproduction number, $R(t)$, is essential for interpreting transmission dynamics and informing public health actions. Incidence-based approaches can be biased when behavioral change and surveillance performance alter realized infectiousness and the timing of observed cases. <bold>Methods</bold> : We develop...
