In a recent article (1Go), we and our colleagues proposed a method of estimating a fatality rate in real time based on a chain multinomial model. We demonstrated that the proposed estimator is more sensitive than that of the World Health Organization. We proposed a kernel smoothing method that we applied to the crude estimator of the daily death and recovery probabilities, p1t and p2t, under the chain multinomial model. However, the kernel . . .
