Early Real-Time Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number of Emerging Infectious Diseases
When an infectious disease strikes a population, the number of newly reported cases is often the only available information during the early stages of the outbreak. An important goal of early outbreak analysis is to obtain a reliable estimate for the basic reproduction number, R_{0}. Over the past f...
