   6 Rnaught is an R package and web application for estimating the [basic
   7 reproduction number
   8 (*R*<sub>0</sub>)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number)
   9 of infectious diseases.
  10
  11 Currently, this estimation can be done in the web application via four
  12 different methods: White and Panago (WP), sequential Bayes (seqB),
  13 incidence decay (ID), and incidence decay and exponential adjustment
  14 (IDEA).

  16 Datasets can be uploaded as a .csv file, or can be entered manually into
  17 the application. The data is visualized in the application through plots
  18 that show the case counts (either weekly or daily). If multiple datasets
  19 are uploaded/manually entered, the trends corresponding to these
  20 datasets are populated in the same plot and can be compared. This plot
  21 can be exported as a .png file. Further, the dataset entered can be
  22 exported into a .csv file. Two sample datasets are included: weekly
  23 Canadian COVID-19 case count data from March 3rd, 2020 to March 31st,
  24 2020, and weekly Ontario COVID-19 case count data from March 3rd, 2020
  25 to March 31st, 2020.

  27 To estimate the basic reproductive number, the user can choose their
  28 preferred estimator, and if applicable, must enter the known serial
  29 interval prior to estimation. If multiple estimates of the basic
  30 reproductive number are calculated, they are all included in a table
  31 where each row represents an estimate. If multiple datasets are being
  32 considered, the basic reproductive number is estimated for all datasets
  33 and the columns of the table correspond to the different datasets
  34 uploaded into the application. The table also consists of a column
  35 corresponding to the value of the [serial interval
  36 (SI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_interval). This table can be
  37 exported as a .csv file.
