From: estimateR: an R package to estimate and monitor the effective reproductive number
Impact of method improvements. Each panel shows the impact of one of the three method alterations, by summarizing \(R_e\) estimates over 100 simulated replicates. In each plot, the ground truth \(R_e\) is shown as a black line, and the median estimate is shown in dark purple and yellow respectively for estimateR and the Huisman et al. method. The coloured ribbons are bounded by median confidence interval boundaries over 100 replicates. A Early estimates for truncated incidence data. B Most recent estimates when using or not using the latest trend in the deconvolution step. C Most recent estimates nowcasting before or after smoothing partially-delayed observations
