Abstract

We propose a simple parameter estimation method for the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model. This method offers explicit estimates of parameters using second-order numerical derivatives to construct empirical parameters. In addition, the method constructs confidence intervals, providing a robust assessment of parameter uncertainty. To validate the accuracy of our method, we applied it to simulated data, in order to demonstrate its effectiveness in accurately estimating the true model parameters. Furthermore, we applied this method to actual COVID-19 case data from the USA, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This application enables the estimation of parameters and reproductive numbers, along with their confidence intervals, thus underscoring the efficacy of our technique. Notably, the parameter estimates obtained through our approach successfully predicted the case numbers in all three countries, confirming its predictive reliability. Our method offers significant advantages in terms of simplicity and accuracy, making it an invaluable tool for epidemiological modeling and public health planning.
