Refining reproduction number estimates to account for unobserved generations of infection in emerging epidemics

2021-11-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Estimating the transmissibility of infectious diseases is key to inform situational awareness and for response planning. Several methods tend to overestimate the basic (R 0 ) and effective (R t ) reproduction numbers during the initial phases of an epidemic. The reasons driving the observed bias are unknown. In this work we explore the impact of incomplete observations and underreporting of the...
