Discrepancy for Spain

[d-Slava]

Hi Swapnil,
thank you for promp feedback
I meant CI of the estimate (shown at 2nd graph at https://imperialcollegelondon.github.io/covid19estimates/#/details/Spain)
Am I correct to understand that same relative change in % of Rt due to interventions is still assumed for all countries..? for me it s a bit of counterintuitive, as I'd rather expect that invervention with same strictness and enforceabily will results in same absulute level of Rt post intervention. So now when we have more historical data, we have to fit it by country. Which is especially needed for Sweden and UK to evidence impact of milder interventions.

Hi @d-Slava sorry for the discrepancy, the credible interval is for the mean of the estimate not the observation. We have a negative-binomial likelihood that has an extra variance term in there, which if drawn covers the observation.

So for this model, this is what we had in assumptions. We are soon releasing an update where each country will have its specific factor too. But still will borrow strength from other countries. Currently, we are full pooling and the next update would be partial pooling. Keep an eye it will be out less than a week.
