Novel approach to extract epidemiological information from waves in epidemic's profiles

In this paper, we develop a novel mathematical framework based on the Kermack- McKendrick model to extract epidemiological parameters from real temporal profiles consisting of waves. The approach's key feature is the ability to obtain all model parameters from the geometry of the wave of intere...
