Title: Computation of COVID-19 epidemiological data in Hungary using dynamic model inversion Cord-id: qrrkcjl5 Document date: 2021_5_7
ID: qrrkcjl5
Snippet: In this paper, we estimate epidemiological data of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary using only the daily number of hospitalized patients, and applying well-known techniques from systems and control theory. We use a previously published and validated compartmental model for the description of epidemic spread. Exploiting the fact that an important subsystem of the model is linear, first we compute the number of latent infected persons in time. Then an estimate can be given for the number of people
Document: In this paper, we estimate epidemiological data of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary using only the daily number of hospitalized patients, and applying well-known techniques from systems and control theory. We use a previously published and validated compartmental model for the description of epidemic spread. Exploiting the fact that an important subsystem of the model is linear, first we compute the number of latent infected persons in time. Then an estimate can be given for the number of people in other compartments. From these data, it is possible to track the time dependent reproduction numbers via a recursive least squares estimate. The credibility of the obtained results is discussed using available data from the literature.
