Reproduction number estimation using smoothing methods Reproduction number and smoothing methods

2025-07-06

Abstract excerpt

The reproduction number for an epidemic is crucial as it helps to understand the potential spread of an infectious disease within a population. It is often estimated through case counting and contact tracing methods. Here, we propose an alternative approach based on real-time smoothing techniques. A generalized additive model (GAM) is proposed to model the number of new infectious cases. The characteristics of the...
