Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract In this study, we explore the global stability of a novel epidemic model that integrates reported and unreported cases, distinguishing between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. Using a Lyapunov function, we demonstrate the model’s stability, highlighting the crucial role of asymptomatic cases in shaping disease dynamics and control effectiveness. Furthermore, we perform a novel hybrid parameter estimation method based on genetic algorithms, utilizing COVID-19 data from the UK to better understand the distribution of reported and unreported cases in the early phases of an epidemic. In addition, we employ sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of this division on the fundamental reproduction number. Our findings underscore the importance of accounting for both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases in epidemic modeling and control strategies.
