About

Maintained by Alex ReinhartFirst published 2021-05-047 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Tools for Delphi's 'COVIDcast Epidata' API: data access, maps and time series plotting, and basic signal processing. The API includes a collection of numerous indicators relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, including official reports, de-identified aggregated medical claims data, large-scale surveys of symptoms and public behavior, and mobility data, typically updated daily and at the county level. All data sources are documented at <https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/api/covidcast.html>.
