ranging between 0 and a specific upper bound. Furthermore, this study postulates the condition n2

the different levels of information reliability associated with different sources, where the lower value the variance, the
more reliable the information provided. Therefore, a total of Kji ðtÞ data points associated with each given type of information
source (ji) in each given affected area i and time interval t are simulated, and used as the input of the proposed model for the
approximation of accumulated fatality numbers.
