title: 'swash: Health Geography Toolbox for Model-Based Analysis of Infections Panel
  Data'
version: 2.0.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.swash
abstract: Within epidemic outbreaks, infections grow and decline differently between
  regions, and the velocity of spatial spread differs between countries. The swash
  library offers a set of model-based analyses for these topics. Spread velocity may
  be analysed with the Swash-Backwash Model for the Single Epidemic Wave and corresponding
  functions for bootstrap confidence intervals, country comparison, and visualization
  of results. Differences in epidemic growth between regions may be analysed using
  logistic growth models, exponential growth models, Hawkes processes and breakpoint
  analyses. All functionalities are accessed by the class "infpan" for infections
  panel data defined in this package, which is built from a data.frame provided by
  the user.
