- Abstract : The aim of this article is to understand the extreme variability in estimates of the reproduction ratio R 0 observed in practice. For expository purposes, we consider a discrete‐time, stochastic version of the susceptible‐infected‐recovered model and introduce different approximate maximum likelihood estimators of R 0 . We carefully discuss the properties of these estimators and illustrate, by a Monte Carlo study, the widths of confidence intervals for R 0 . Résumé : Le but de cet article est de comprendre l'extrême variabilité du taux de reproduction R 0 observée en pratique. Pour la présentation, nous considérons une version stochastique en temps discret du modèle SIR (Susceptible, Infecté, Guéri) et introduisons différents estimateurs du Maximum de Vraisemblance Approché (MVA) de R 0 . Nous analysons en détail les propriétés de ces estimateurs et les illustrons par une étude de Monte‐Carlo des largeurs d'intervalles de confiance de R 0 .
