How are these Parameters Calculated?

Incidence Rate Calculation
Incidence rate is calculated as:

Incidence Rate = (Number of new cases during a specific period) / (Population at risk during the same period)

Prevalence Rate Calculation
Prevalence rate is calculated as:

Prevalence Rate = (Total number of cases at a given time) / (Total population at that time)

Mortality Rate Calculation
Mortality rate is calculated as:

Mortality Rate = (Number of deaths due to the disease) / (Total population)

Basic Reproduction Number (R0) Calculation
R0 can be estimated using various epidemiological models, but a simple conceptual approach is:

R0 = (Transmission rate) x (Duration of infectiousness)
