A tool to estimate Instantaneous Reproduction Number(Rt) for the pandemic
Project description
A tool to estimate Instantaneous Reproduction Number(Rt)
cal_r() provide real-time estimation of time-varying distribution of Rt and infected numbers from a range of epidemic observations (e.g., number of onsets and confirmed cases).
Usage
dart = DARt(GT,D_s,Filename)
cal_r()
Arguments
GT: generation time distribution; GT[0] represents the probability that the secondary infection case occurs 1 day after the primary infection.
D_s: delay time distribution; D_s[0] represents the probability that an individual infected is observed after 1 day.
Filename: input file; this file should contain date and corresponding observations, the date should be sorted from the oldest to the latest. See 'Example_input.csv'.

This tool is described in the following paper:'Revealing the Transmission Dynamics of COVID-19: A Bayesian Framework for R_t Estimation'
