Dataset and images for "Instantaneous R calculation for COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil"

This dataset was generated from raw data obtained at 

• Ceará State - https://indicadores.integrasus.saude.ce.gov.br/api/casos-coronavirus/export-csv
• São Paulo State - http://www.seade.gov.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Dados-covid-19-estado.csv
• Brazil - https://covid.saude.gov.br/

Data was processed with R package EpiEstim (methodology in the associated preprint). Briefly, instantaneous R was estimated within a 5 day time window. Prior mean and standard deviation values for R were set at 3 and 1. Serial interval was estimated using a parametric distribution with uncertainty (offset gamma). We compared the results at two time points (day 7 and day 21 after the first case was registered at each region) from different brazillian states in order to make inferences about the epidemic dynamics.
