- +This package estimates the time-varying reproduction number, growth rate, and doubling time using a range of open-source tools (Abbott et al.), and current best practices (Gostic et al.). It aims to help users avoid some of the limitations of naive implementations in a framework that is informed by community feedback and is actively supported.
It estimates the time-varying reproduction number on cases by date of infection (using a similar approach to that implemented in {EpiEstim}
). Imputed infections are then mapped to observed data (for example cases by date of report) via a series of uncertain delay distributions (in the examples in the package documentation these are an incubation period and a reporting delay) and a reporting model that can include weekly periodicity.
Uncertainty is propagated from all inputs into the final parameter estimates, helping to mitigate spurious findings. This is handled internally. The time-varying reproduction estimates and the uncertain generation time also give time-varying estimates of the rate of growth.

function. This comes with a range of benefits, including optimising model fitting when static delays are used (by convolving when first defined vs in stan), easy printing (using print()
), and easy plotting (using plot()
). It also makes it possible to use all supported distributions everywhere (i.e, as a generation time or reporting delay). However, while for now backwards compatibility has been ensured this update will break most users’ code eventually as the interface has changed. See the documentation for dist_spec()
for more details. By @sbfnk in #363 and reviewed by @seabbs.Pietro Monticone pietro.monticone@edu.unito.it [contributor]
