    Snippet: For simplicity, we only estimate one parameter from the time series data of the early epidemic growth phase: the transmission rate, b. We can fit the SEIR to the first 16e20 days of the influenza pandemic in San Francsico via least-square fitting using the Matlab built-in function lsqcurvefit.m. The initial number of cases I(0) is fixed according to the first observation day in the data (i.e., C(0) ¼ 4). For instance, fitting the model to the fi.....

For instance, fitting the model to the first 16 epidemic days, we estimate the transmission rate at: b ¼ 1:1 ð95% CI:1:1; 1:2Þ
