    We solve the minimization problem by means of the L-BFGS-B algorithm (Byrd et al., 1995), which combines the gradient projection method and the BFGS algorithm with optimized use of computational memory, implemented in the SciPy library in Python (Virtanen et al., 2020). 2.5.

    Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your code.


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    The correlation between α and β2 represents a limitation in terms of identifiability of the system. In order to achieve a structural identifiability result it is necessary to know the recovered curve (see Appendix B), whereas for the practical identifiability it would be useful to approximate the transmission and mortality functions with a different model.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    Results from scite Reference Check: We found no unreliable references.


    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
