incidence - Compute, Handle, Plot and Model Incidence of Dated Events

Provides functions and classes to compute, handle and visualise incidence from dated events for a defined time interval. Dates can be provided in various standard formats. The class 'incidence' is used to store computed incidence and can be easily manipulated, subsetted, and plotted. In addition, log-linear models can be fitted to 'incidence' objects using 'fit'. This package is part of the RECON (<https://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/>) toolkit for outbreak analysis.

aweek - Convert Dates to Arbitrary Week Definitions

Which day a week starts depends heavily on the either the local or professional context. This package is designed to be a lightweight solution to easily switching between week-based date definitions.

distcrete - Discrete Distribution Approximations

Creates discretised versions of continuous distribution functions by mapping continuous values to an underlying discrete grid, based on a (uniform) frequency of discretisation, a valid discretisation point, and an integration range. For a review of discretisation methods, see Chakraborty (2015) <doi:10.1186/s40488-015-0028-6>.

projections - Project Future Case Incidence

Provides functions and graphics for projecting daily incidence based on past incidence, and estimates of the serial interval and reproduction number. Projections are based on a branching process using a Poisson-distributed number of new cases per day, similar to the model used for estimating R in 'EpiEstim' or in 'earlyR', and described by Nouvellet et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.epidem.2017.02.012>. The package provides the S3 class 'projections' which extends 'matrix', with accessors and additional helpers for handling, subsetting, merging, or adding these objects, as well as dedicated printing and plotting methods.

epiflows - Predicting Disease Spread from Flow Data

Provides functions and classes designed to handle and visualise epidemiological flows between locations. Also contains a statistical method for predicting disease spread from flow data initially described in Dorigatti et al. (2017) <doi:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2017.22.28.30572>. This package is part of the RECON (<https://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/>) toolkit for outbreak analysis.

earlyR - Estimation of Transmissibility in the Early Stages of a Disease Outbreak

Implements a simple, likelihood-based estimation of the reproduction number (R0) using a branching process with a Poisson likelihood. This model requires knowledge of the serial interval distribution, and dates of symptom onsets. Infectiousness is determined by weighting R0 by the probability mass function of the serial interval on the corresponding day. It is a simplified version of the model introduced by Cori et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwt133>.

matchmaker - Flexible Dictionary-Based Cleaning

Provides flexible dictionary-based cleaning that allows users to specify implicit and explicit missing data, regular expressions for both data and columns, and global matches, while respecting ordering of factors. This package is part of the 'RECON' (<https://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/>) toolkit for outbreak analysis.
