<p>Contains case counts of SARS-CoV-2 in England from 30/01/2020 until 30/05/2021. Case counts correspond to
'New Cases by Specimen Date', as defined by Public Health England. The data was downloaded from
PHE;textualepidemia on 01/06/2021. Case counts in the last few days of May may be
underreported as not all cases have been counted as of the download date.</p>

datasets

Flexibly specify and fit Bayesian statistical models for epidemics. 'epidemia' leverages Rs formula interface so
that users can parameterize reproduction numbers and ascertainment rates in terms of predictors. Infections are propagated over
time using self-exciting point processes. Multiple regions can be modeled simultaneously with multilevel models. The models and framework behind
the package are described in Bhatt et al. (2021) <arXiv:2012.00394>. The design of the package has been inspired by, and has borrowed from,
'rstanarm' (Goodrich et al., 2020) <https://mc-stan.org/rstanarm/>. 'rstan' (Stan Development Team, 2020) <https://mc-stan.org/> is used as
the back end for fitting models.
