Updates to v. 0.1.0 (Initial Release) are major fixes to remove
deprecated tidyverse
functions, replacing group_by_
with
group_by(!!sym())
and vars_select
with standard select
.
See README.md
for a full tutorial on using the NobBS package.
Updates to the development version include:
- A function for stratified Bayesian nowcasting,
NobBS.strat
- An argument to specify the
proportion_reported
and inflate the estimated cases by that factor, important in outbreaks with severe under-reporting or asymptomatic cases. - Additional checks and warnings issued for impossible temporal combinations of moving window sizes, maximum delay D, and the length of the time series.
- Warning issued when a case onset week is skipped in the time series or is missing reports altogether.
- Plot examples
NobBS (Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing) is a new R package that produces smooth Bayesian nowcasts of incomplete, time-stamped reporting data implemented from McGough et al. 2019.
