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

“…This means that real-time estimates of the time-varying reproduction number, <i>R_t</i>, are often made using a time series of cases only up until a time period sufficiently far in the past that there is some confidence in the case counts. This means that the most recent <i>R_t</i> estimates are usually out of date, inducing lags in the response of public health authorities. …”
