From: On the use of aggregated human mobility data to estimate the reproduction number
Effective reproduction number for Italy during the lockdown period (March 9th to May 18th). We compare the \(R_t\) (dashed red) estimate by well established approaches with \(R_t\) SDM (blue) from the method we propose using human mobility data. Includes depletion of the susceptible population, individual mobility and physical proximity. The left inset compares the \(R_t\) (dashed) with the \(R_t\) SDM (solid) by using mobility data only and the right inset compares the \(R_t\) (dashed) with the \(R_t\) SDM (solid) by using physical proximity data only. The scale of the insets are the same as the main plot. Calibration coefficient \(c=1.14\) (see “Calibration” subsection of Methods).
