National and Subnational Estimates of the Covid 19 Reproduction Number (R) for India Based on Test Results

Identifying changes in the reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time during the course of the COVID-19 outbreak whilst accounting for potential biases due to delays in case reporting both nationally and subnationally in India. These results are impacted by changes in testing effort, increases and decreases in testing effort will increase and decrease reproduction number estimates respectively.

本研究旨在识别新冠疫情暴发期间印度全国及次国家级层面的新冠病毒再生数（Reproduction number）、传播速率与倍增时间的动态变化，同时校正因全国和次国家级病例报告延迟所引发的潜在偏倚。该研究结果受检测力度变动的影响：检测力度提升与降低将分别使再生数的估计值相应升高与降低。
