It assumes that all individuals in a given population are susceptible to the disease, + and that no preventive measures (such as lockdowns or vaccinations) have been enforced. It is a useful + indicator of the transmissibility of an infectious disease during the early stages of its spread and detection. +</p> +<p> + If <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> < 1, then the disease will eventually die out. On the other hand, if + <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> > 1, the disease will spread (the higher the <em>R<sub>0</sub></em>, the faster this will happen). Due to uncertainty of known data about the disease, it is difficult to + determine <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> precisely. + Therefore, many estimation methods exist, each based on different assumptions and yielding different estimates. It is the + responsibility of users to employ the most appropriate estimator (or suite of estimators) given the situation at hand. +</p> diff --git a/inst/app/templates/tabs.html b/inst/app/templates/tabs.html index bd07df9..22985f9 100644 --- a/inst/app/templates/tabs.html +++ b/inst/app/templates/tabs.html @@ -3,10 +3,10 @@ About <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign"></span> </a> <a class="nav-link rounded-0" data-bs-toggle="pill" href="#data"> - Data <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-list-alt"></span> + Upload Data <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-list-alt"></span> </a> <a class="nav-link rounded-0" data-bs-toggle="pill" href="#estimators"> - Estimators <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-random"></span> + Select and Compute Estimators <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-random"></span> </a> <a class="nav-link rounded-0" data-bs-toggle="pill" href="#help"> Help <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-question-sign"></span> |
