Tracking [Formula: see text] of COVID-19: A new real-time estimation using the Kalman filter.
We develop a new method for estimating the effective reproduction number of an infectious disease ([Formula: see text]) and apply it to track the dynamics of COVID-19. The method is based on the fact that in the SIR model, [Formula: see text] is linearly related to the growth rate of the number of i...
