The impact of changes in diagnostic testing practices on estimates of COVID-19 transmission in the United States

Abstract
Estimates of the reproductive number for novel pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 are essential for understanding the potential trajectory of the epidemic and the level of intervention that is needed to bring the epidemic under control. However, most methods for estimating the basic reproductive number ( R 0 ) and time-varying effective reproductive number ( R t ) assume that the fraction of cases detected and reported is constant through time. We...
