About SIDIR

SIDIR deploys logically four primary compartments, namely: "Susceptible" - individuals that may contract the disease; "Infected" - individuals that are infected with the disease independent of exhibiting symptoms; "Isolated" - individuals that, regardless of their disease severity, are isolated at home or in treatment care centers; and "Resolved" - individuals that recovered or passed. We demonstrate that it identifies the extent of case under-counting and estimates when undetected active cases will no longer exist in the population. SIDIR model specifically focuses on identifying undetected cases based on the difference between actual deaths and the known infection death rate in particular regions. Based on this, SIDIR is able to predict when there will be no remaining undetected cases. Please refer to our paper for further information.
