merge_trunc_pred_obs

Internal function to prepare data for plotting or returning
merged predictions and observations. Combines predictions with observed
data from each snapshot, including the latest observations as reference.

internal

Estimates the time-varying reproduction number, rate of
spread, and doubling time using a renewal equation approach combined
with Bayesian inference via Stan. Supports Gaussian process and
random walk priors for modelling changes in
transmission over time. Accounts for delays between infection and
observation (incubation period, reporting delays), right-truncation
in recent data, day-of-week effects, and observation overdispersion.
Can estimate relationships between primary and secondary outcomes
(e.g., cases to hospitalisations or deaths) and forecast both. Runs
across multiple regions in parallel. Based on
Abbott et al. (2020) <doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16006.1> and
Gostic et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.06.18.20134858>.
