aedseo vs stockplotr: at a glance
What is 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.
What is stockplotr?
A stock-assessment plotting package is growing a table engine to match its figures.
stockplotr generates the figures and, since 0.8.0-beta, the tables that go into NOAA fisheries stock assessment reports. The 0.8.0 release swapped the table backend from flextable to gt and shipped table_landings() as the first table function; 0.9.0 exported it with an interface deliberately mirroring the plot functions. Alongside that, convert_output() moved in from the sister package asar so model output is standardized here rather than upstream.

An epidemic-onset detector that now brackets the whole season, not just its start
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from a single-purpose onset detector toward a full seasonal-surveillance toolkit. Each release since 1.0.0 has widened what the package can say about a season rather than improving how it says it: incidence denominators, background population, multi-wave detection, thresholds, and now season end. Fixes in between are narrow and numerical, such as confidence intervals under ATLAS BLAS.
◆ Prediction
The natural next step is symmetry with the onset machinery the package already has: turning the 1.1.0 seasonal offset into a first-class output alongside onset, with its own summary and plotting methods.
stockplotr
0.0ANALYTICS
A stock-assessment plotting package is growing a table engine to match its figures.
◆ Current state
stockplotr generates the figures and, since 0.8.0-beta, the tables that go into NOAA fisheries stock assessment reports. The 0.8.0 release swapped the table backend from flextable to gt and shipped table_landings() as the first table function; 0.9.0 exported it with an interface deliberately mirroring the plot functions. Alongside that, convert_output() moved in from the sister package asar so model output is standardized here rather than upstream.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is consolidating the whole report-artifact pipeline in one place: standardize model output, then emit both figures and tables from the same long-format frame. Pulling convert_output() out of asar because stockplotr depended on it more heavily is the clearest signal of where the center of gravity now sits. Everything is still tagged beta, and the plot function count is growing faster than the table one.
◆ Prediction
More table_* functions built on the gt foundation are the obvious next step, matching the existing plot_* set; the 0.9.0 notes describe table_landings() as the first of a revamped family rather than a one-off.
