It also makes it straightforward to add constraints to the delay distribution, such as requiring reporting proportions to sum to one or specifying a parametric form.

Two main variants exist: conditional and marginal.

Conditional generative models separate variability in incidence from variability in reporting by modelling total counts directly and then distributing them across delays, producing well-calibrated uncertainty for the quantities decision makers most care about [@hohle; @Stoner2020; @Stoner2023; @Seaman2022].

Marginal generative models instead treat each cell of the reporting triangle as an independent draw [@McGough2020; @gunther2021nowcasting; @lison2024; @epinowcast].

Both variants can support parametric delay distributions, time-varying delays through covariates such as day-of-week effects, hierarchical pooling across regions or age groups, joint estimation of the reproduction number, and incorporation of leading indicators [@Stoner2023; @Seaman2022; @Bergstrom2022; @epinowcast].

For regression approaches, [nowcaster](https://github.com/covid19br/nowcaster) [@bastos] uses smooth functions of event time and delay, with user-specified count distributions, support for day-of-week effects, and stratification by age or geography.

A benefit of the regression framework is that it builds on widely used statistical software.
