Maximum entropy method for estimating the reproduction number: An investigation for COVID-19 in China
2020-03-20
Abstract excerpt
The key parameter that characterizes the transmissibility of a disease is the reproduction number R . If it exceeds 1, the number of incident cases will inevitably grow over time, and a large epidemic is possible. To prevent the expansion of an epidemic, R must be reduced to a level below 1. To estimate the reproduction number, the probability distribution function of the generation interval of an infectious disea...
