Abstract

This note provides an elementary derivation of the basic reproduction number and the effective reproduction number from the discrete Kermack-McKendrick epidemic model. The derived formulae match those derived from the continuous version of the model; however, the derivation from discrete model is a bit more intuitive. The MATLAB functions for its calculation are given. A real case example is considered and the results are compared with those obtained by the R0 and the EpiEstim software packages.

关于流行病中的繁殖数。

本文给出了离散Kermack-McKendrick流行病模型的基本再现数和有效再现数的初等推导。导出的公式与模型连续版本的公式相匹配;然而，离散模型的推导更直观一些。给出了其计算的MATLAB函数。结合实际算例，与R0和EpiEstim软件包的计算结果进行了比较。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
