    Snippet: The posterior distributions of all forecasted quantities changed as more data was included (Fig. 4 ). The posterior estimates of R 0,Z were quickly similar and in good agreement with prior information. On the contrary, the reporting rate ρ Z remained essentially unidentiable until after the incidence peak in Guadeloupe, and to the end of the outbreak in Martinique and Saint-Martin.

    Document: The posterior distributions of all forecasted quantities changed as more data was included (Fig. 4 ). The posterior estimates of R 0,Z were quickly similar and in good agreement with prior information. On the contrary, the reporting rate ρ Z remained essentially unidentiable until after the incidence peak in Guadeloupe, and to the end of the outbreak in Martinique and Saint-Martin. This suggests that prior information is essentially required for the reporting rate, a dicult to estimate quantity as already noted [15] . Sensitivity analysis support this result. Indeed, providing informative prior on ρ Z only leads to similar results as providing it for both ρ Z and R 0,Z (supplementary appendix).
