A practical, illuminating and timeless guide to thinking better, from a Royal Society Prize shortlisted mathematician - now in paperback.

Currently, reproduction numbers of pandemic models (SIR, SEIR, Lotka-Euler and others), basic or not, and their constituent parameters like transmission rate or duration of infectiousness, mainly are estimated as one average value for either a moving period in time [0,t], or for the whole duration [0,T] of the pandemic. This book statistically investigates these parameters, and thereby the reproduction number as timedependent: hence the name 'Timelocal Reproduction Number'.

For instance, th...

A daily glass of wine prolongs life-yet alcohol can cause life-threatening cancer. Some say raising the minimum wage will decrease inequality while others say it increases unemployment. Scientists once confidently claimed that hormone replacement therapy reduced the risk of heart disease but now they equally confidently claim it raises that risk.

What should we make of this endless barrage of conflicting claims? Observation and Experiment is an introduction to causal inference by one of the f...
