Dear SASers,
I urgently need your help... I have the following data:
data covid.covidppr;
input numdays confirm_cumul;
datalines;
1 1
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3
6 34
7 82
8 414
9 1401
10 4989
11 13435
12 29800
13 59251
;
How can I use this information to compute the infection rate of Covid 19? The data is non-linear and fits polynomial and logarithmic regression trendlines very well. If infection rate can be estimated through regression curve fitting, please guide me. Can someone please let me understand the computation and the SAS code to do so? Thanks in advance.
Do you mean Infection Rates as defined in this paper?

Dear Reeza and PG,
I want something like what they have done in this paper, under section 3.3 "Estimation of infection rate".
Dear PG, in the context of Covid-19, the term "infection rate" is used interchangeably with the term "transmission rate".
@Rick_SAS wrote a blog about Covid 19 culumutive freq.
It is like Logistic Curve , could try e^x/(1+e^x) curve and PROC NLIN .
