Description
Summary:<p>The true infection incidence data <i>I</i><sub><i>t</i></sub> is first distorted by a probabilistic delay modelled by a convolution with , which are probabilities from a Gamma distribution. Under-ascertainment then occurs by downsampling these delayed cases using a Beta-binomial distribution. This yields the reported daily cases <i>C</i><sub><i>t</i></sub>, which is frequently used as a proxy for the unobservable <i>I</i><sub><i>t</i></sub>. In some simulations, we turn either reporting delay or under-reporting off. If there is no reporting delay, and similarly, if there is no under-reporting .</p>
