A half-day workshop for IDDconf 2026, run on the morning of Tuesday 7 July 2026 by Kath Sherratt and Sam Abbott (LSHTM).
We explore how to visualise and interpret infectious disease forecasts, evaluate forecast performance and identify limitations, and combine multiple forecasts into ensembles. We introduce each concept and then work through examples implemented in R.
This workshop is a short, forecasting-focused selection from the fuller course on Nowcasting and forecasting infectious disease dynamics. Please see the timetable for the plan for the morning and getting started to set up.
