Table 1.
Covariates and previous findings.
Fig 1.
Dots represent daily cases averaged over a 7-day window, and curves are fitted based on the logistic growth model. Example countries are arranged from top left to bottom right in order of increasing basic reproduction number (R0).
Fig 2.
Estimated basic reproduction numbers (R0) for countries across the globe.
Gray countries are not included in our analysis.
Fig 3.
Mixed GAM derived partial effects (smoother plot) of the covariates, on R0.
Circles are partial residuals, and red shades are 95% confidence intervals.
Fig 4.
The four characteristics (youth, city, social media, and GINI inequality) with the lowest p-values in the mixed effect GAM are plotted (centred and standardized) for 8 countries representing, from top left to bottom right in the legend, increasing R0. Red dashed lines represent alternative high R0 profiles based on the mixed effects GAM model.
