Covid19, 2020 - On the number of infected cases and the effective reproduction rate
Meilijson, I.
Show abstract
The SIR epidemiological equations model new affected and removed cases as roughly proportional to the current number of infected cases. The present report adopts an alternative that has been considered in the literature, in which the number of new affected cases is proportional to the [≤] 1 power of the number of infected cases. After arguing that = 1 models exponential growth while < 1 models polynomial growth, a simple method for parameter estimation in differential equations subject to noise, the random-time transformation RTT of Bassan, Meilijson, Marcus and Talpaz 1997, will be reviewed and compared with stochastic differential equations. Both methods are applied in an attempt to uncover the growth pattern of Covid19.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
