Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing: A flexible, generalizable model for real-time epidemic tracking

2019-06-07

Abstract excerpt

Delays in case reporting are common to disease surveillance systems, making it difficult to track diseases in real-time. “Nowcast” approaches attempt to estimate the complete case counts for a given reporting date, using a time series of case reports that is known to be incomplete due to reporting delays. Modeling the reporting delay distribution is a common feature of nowcast approaches. However, many nowcast app...
