\begin{align}  \alpha &= E (\frac{E(1-E)}{V} - 1) \\  \beta &= (1-E)(\frac{E(1-E)}{V} - 1)  \label{eq:betamoments}  \end{align}  Time series for the period 1990–2014 were built according to the characteristics of the levels of underreporting and under-diagnosis that were estimated for the three reference years. A cubic spline extrapolation of $V$ and $E$, with knots set at the reference years, was used for countries with low-level or concentrated HIV epidemics. In countries with a generalized HIV epidemic, the trajectory of incidence from 1990 to the first reference year (usually 1997) was based on the annual rate of change in HIV prevalence and time changes in the fraction $F$ of incidence attributed to HIV, determined as follows:
