T188 |
0-140 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The delay from symptom onset to reporting is likely to decrease over the course of the epidemic, due to improved surveillance and reporting. |
T189 |
141-369 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We used a delay distribution estimated from observed reporting delays from the analysis period, which is therefore likely to underestimate reporting delays early in the epidemic, and overestimate them as the epidemic progressed. |
T190 |
370-662 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Underestimating the delay would result in an overestimate of Rššš, as the inferred onset dates (for those that were unknown) and adjustment for right-truncation, would result in more concentrated inferred daily cases (i.e., the inferred cases would be more clustered in time than in reality). |
T191 |
663-720 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The converse would be true when overestimating the delay. |
T192 |
721-907 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The impact of this misspecified distribution will be greatest on the most recent estimates of Rššš, where inference for both right-truncation and missing symptom onset dates is required. |
