Scientific Abstract
Epidemic models are used to analyse and forecast the spread of infectious diseases. Specialized regression methods for surveillance data allow us, for example, to evaluate socio-demographic and environmental factors. The aim of this project is to extend such statistical modelling frameworks for two types of applications: multivariate time series of proportions and spatio-temporal point patterns. All methodological developments are accompanied by implementations in open-source software.
