A renewal-equation approach to estimating Rt and infectious disease case counts in the presence of reporting delays by Bajaj, S, Thompson, R, Lambert, B

“…Here, we introduce an <i>R_t</i> estimation method which makes use of the retrospective updates to case time series which happen as more cases that occurred historically enter the health system; these data encode within them information about the reporting delays, which our method also estimates. These estimates, in turn, allow us to estimate the true count of cases occurring most recently allowing up-to-date estimates of <i>R_t</i>. …”
