Correcting the Actual Reproduction Number: A Simple Method to Estimate R(0) from Early Epidemic Growth Data

The basic reproduction number, R(0), a summary measure of the transmission potential of an infectious disease, is estimated from early epidemic growth rate, but a likelihood-based method for the estimation has yet to be developed. The present study corrects the concept of the actual reproduction num...
