From: estimateR: an R package to estimate and monitor the effective reproductive number
Comparison of \(R_e\) inference on simulated data for three software packages: estimateR, epidemia and EpiNow2. A \(R_e\) inference results. Each row corresponds to a different scenario of \(R_e\) changes through time. The ground truth is shown in black, estimateR, epidemia and EpiNow2 estimates are in blue, green and red, respectively. For each method, the median of point estimates is shown as a line and the ribbon is bound by the median of the lower and upper confidence interval boundaries over the analysed replicates (100 replicates for estimateR, 50 for epidemia and EpiNow2). B Computation time (on a log scale) required to complete the \(R_e\) estimation process on one simulated data replicate
