Welcome to the Rnaught web application

+

+ Rnaught is an R package and web application for estimating the + basic reproduction number + of infectious diseases. For information about using this application, view the + Help tab. + To learn more about the package, visit the online + documentation or + GitHub repository. + Technical details about the estimators featured in this project can be found in the reference + article. +

What is the basic reproduction number?

+

+ The basic reproduction number, denoted R0, is defined as the expected number of infections caused by a + single infectious individual when introduced into a totally susceptible population. 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. +

+

+ If R0 < 1, then the disease will eventually die out. On the other hand, if + R0 > 1, the disease will spread (the higher the R0, the faster this will happen). Due to uncertainty of known data about the disease, it is difficult to + determine R0 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. +
