Curve fitting to the cumulative case and death data of Guinea (a) and Sierra Leone (b). The Levenberg–Marquardt method with 95% confidence bounds is used. R-squared values exceeding 0.948 are obtained for all cases (Guinea cases; 0.9999, deaths; 0.9999 and Sierra Leone cases; 0.9478, deaths; 0.9998). The curve fitting utilizes data points up to October 18, 2015 for Guinea and up to August 7, 2015 for Sierra Leone.
