About aedseo
An epidemic-onset detector that now brackets the whole season, not just its start
aedseo is a Statens Serum Institut R package for automated early detection of seasonal epidemic onsets, built around growth-rate estimation over consecutive time intervals. The 1.0.0 line moved it well past its original scope: observations are now modelled as cases or population-adjusted incidence, multiple waves can be estimated in one pass, and disease-specific thresholds are computed by a dedicated function. Version 1.1.0 adds an estimate of when a season has ended after the first onset.
