AB - Timely estimation of the current value for COVID-19 reproduction factor $R$has become a key aim of efforts to inform management strategies. $R$ is animportant metric used by policy-makers in setting mitigation levels and is alsoimportant for accurate modelling of epidemic progression. This brief paperintroduces a method for estimating $R$ from biased case testing data. Usingtesting data, rather than hospitalisation or death data, provides a muchearlier metric along the symptomatic progression scale. This can be hugelyimportant when fighting the exponential nature of an epidemic. We develop apractical estimator and apply it to Scottish case testing data to infer acurrent (20 May 2020) $R$ value of $0.74$ with $95\%$ confidence interval$[0.48 - 0.86]$.

Note to staff: Adding new publications to a research group
- Log in to Symplectic.
- Click on Menu > Create Links
- Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
- Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
- Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary.
- Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
- The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).
Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
