In DengueRT: Parameter Estimates and Real-Time Prediction of a Single Dengue Outbreak

Description

The DengueRT package uses the incidence data from a single dengue outbreak and provides functions to estimate the final size, the turning point of the epidemic and to conduct a real-time prediction for these parameters using several nonlinear models taking into account model uncertainty using model averaging. Graphical tools for a visualization of the results are also included.
