Theory and Modern Applications
Table 1 Comparison of paired Student t-test results between estimated and projected wild-type SARS-CoV2 basic reproduction numbers in the USA for various UK basic reproduction number estimates for the wild-type SARS-CoV2. \(\mu _{d}\) is the mean of differences. \(CI_{d}\) is the 95% confidence interval of the differences. \(N=40\)
