EpiLPS: A Bayesian Tool for Fast and Flexible Estimation of the Reproduction Number

Estimation of the instantaneous reproduction number with Laplacian-P-splines following the methodology of Gressani et al.(2021) <doi:10.1101/2021.12.02.21267189>. The negative Binomial distribution is used to model the time series of case counts. Two methods are available for inference : (1) a sampling-free approach based on a maximum a posteriori calibration of the hyperparameter vector and (2) a fully stochastic approach with a Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithm and Langevin diffusions for efficient sampling of the posterior distribution.
