Title: Estimating the Growth Rate and Doubling Time for Short-Term Prediction and Monitoring Trend During the COVID-19 Pandemic with a SAS Macro Document date: 2020_4_11

Snippet: These models can be similarly applied to death data if they are available and not sparse. When COVID-19 testing is widely available to the public and the number of COVID-19 testing is less selective, these models can also be used to directly estimate the growth rate and the doubling time for COVID-19 cases. Due to a lag in reporting hospitalization, it is recommended to exclude the recent 1-2 days' hospitalization data in fitting the growth curve.....
Document: These models can be similarly applied to death data if they are available and not sparse. When COVID-19 testing is widely available to the public and the number of COVID-19 testing is less selective, these models can also be used to directly estimate the growth rate and the doubling time for COVID-19 cases. Due to a lag in reporting hospitalization, it is recommended to exclude the recent 1-2 days' hospitalization data in fitting the growth curves. This paper illustrates that hospitalization data can be used to estimate the growth rate and doubling (or half) time to aid predicting future hospitalizations, deaths and COVID-19 cases. Because a series of growth curves were fit, the RGCA approach can also be used for real-time monitoring of the epidemic trend as shown in Figure 1 .
