Epidtools

A Python toolkit for analysis, modelling and forecasting Epidemic

Requirments :

• Scipy : 1.4.1 +
• Numpy : 1.4.1 +
• scikit-learn
• pandas
• statsmodels

Key features:

• Epidemic outbreak modeling and short-term forecasting using predefined fitted growth functions.
• Estimation of time-dependent transmission coefficients and efective reproduction number.
• Epidemic dynamics modeling and estimation of transmission epidemiological parameters using the Runge-Kutta initial value problem solver and iterative (limited memory) BFGS optimizer.
• Epidemic decay dynamics modeling with time dependent contact rate using different decay functions (exp, power, tanh).
• Estimation of effective reproduction number using Kalman filtering techniques directly from the real-time infection data.
