  • A Method for Estimating the Number of Infections From the Reported Number of Deaths

    Open AccessÅke Brännström, Henrik Sjödin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    At the outset of an epidemic, available case data typically underestimate the total number of infections due to insufficient testing, potentially hampering public responses. Here, we present a method for statistically estimating the true number of cases with confidence intervals from the reported number of deaths and estimates of the infection fatality ratio; assuming that the time from infection to death follows a known distribution. While the m…

It is therefore necessary to investigate…

While exposure to shocks has been studied in financial markets, communication networks, and some infrastructure sys…
