The Effective Reproduction Number as a Prelude to Statistical Estimation of Time-Dependent Epidemic Trends
Although the basic reproduction number, R (0), is useful for understanding the transmissibility of a disease and designing various intervention strategies, the classic threshold quantity theoretically assumes that the epidemic first occurs in a fully susceptible population, and hence, R (0) is essen...
