salmNewportTruncated

A list containing 6 time series of counts of Salmonella Newport in Germany 2001-2011 aggregated by data of disease onset as known during weeks 44 to 49 of 2011.

datasets

Implementation of statistical methods for the modeling and
        change-point detection in time series of counts, proportions and
        categorical data, as well as for the modeling of continuous-time
        epidemic phenomena, e.g., discrete-space setups such as the spatially
        enriched Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) models,
        or continuous-space point process data such as the
        occurrence of infectious diseases. Main focus is on outbreak
        detection in count data time series originating from public health
        surveillance of communicable diseases, but applications could just as well
        originate from environmetrics, reliability engineering, econometrics or
        social sciences.
        Currently, the package contains implementations of many typical
        outbreak detection procedures such as Farrington et al (1996),
        Noufaily et al (2012) or the negative binomial LR-CUSUM method
        described in H�hle and Paul (2008). A novel CUSUM approach combining
        logistic and multinomial logistic modelling is also included.
        Furthermore, inference methods for the retrospective infectious
        disease models in Held et al (2005), Held et al (2006),
        Paul et al (2008), Paul and Held (2011), Held and Paul (2012),
        and Meyer and Held (2014) are provided. 
        Continuous self-exciting spatio-temporal point processes are
        modeled through additive-multiplicative conditional
        intensities as described in H�hle (2009) ('twinSIR', discrete
        space) and Meyer et al (2012) ('twinstim', continuous space).
        The package contains several real-world data sets, the ability
        to simulate outbreak data, visualize the results of the
        monitoring in temporal, spatial or spatio-temporal fashion.
	Note: Using the 'boda' algorithm requires the 'INLA'
        package, which should be installed automatically through the
        specified Additional_repositories, if uninstalled dependencies
        are also requested. As this might not work under OS X it
        might be necessary to manually install the 'INLA' package as
        specified at <http://www.r-inla.org/download>.
