 We decompose the instantaneous reproduction number $\mathcal{R}(t)$ into two components: an _unadjusted_ instantaneous reproduction number $\mathcal{R}^\mathrm{u}(t)$ and a damping term that accounts for the effect of recent infections on the instantaneous reproduction number[^Asher2018].
 
-We assume that the unadjusted reproduction number $\mathcal{R}^\mathrm{u}(t)$ is a piecewise-constant function with weekly change points (i.e., if $t$ and $t'$ are days in the same week, then $\mathcal{R}^\mathrm{u}(t) = \mathcal{R}^\mathrm{u}(t')$). To account for the dependence of the unadjusted reproduction number in a given week on the previous week, we use a differenced auto-regressive process for the log-scale reproduction number. A log-scale representation is used to ensure that the reproduction number is positive and so that week-to-week changes are multiplicative rather than additive.
