December 2022: "Top 40" New CRAN Packages

One hundred sixteen new packages stuck to CRAN in December 2022. Here are my “Top 40” selections in thirteen categories: Computational Methods, Data, Ecology, Epidemiology, Genomics, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Medicine, Networks, Signal Processing, Statistics, Utilities, and Visualization.

@ZulmaCucunuba

ChatGPT has no ideas of its own, and is not a valid source. Follow the idea instead, track the sources. This may be a significant amount of work, we write about why this is useful here: https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/chatgpts-achilles-heel

But sometimes you just want to cite the algorithm for its own sake. Cite that as a "synthesized communication" ... and follow the "personal communication" format of your favourite citation style.

Question: How can ChatGPT be properly cited if it is used crucially to support an academic process? #ChatGPT

Fascinating to see the gradual tail off in COVID travel measures post-Omicron (data: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-international-domestic-travel). Suspect 'what nearby countries are doing' is a bigger predictor than epidemiology in many locations.

▶️ What is a geostatistical model?

▶️ What techniques are needed to be able to fit disease transmission models to spatial epidemiological data?

▶️ How can these methods help us understand infectious disease transmission dynamics in low and lower-middle income countries?

We explore these questions in the latest episode of the SBIDER presents podcast from @WarwickSBIDER! https://fediscience.org/@WarwickSBIDER/109484442985200416

The US is reporting more positive flu tests than any other single week on record.

Striking difference from 2020 when there were hardly any flu cases thanks to mask wearing and social distancing.

2022 is the worst flu season in two decades. See the rise in charts.

And health care systems are getting absolutely crushed ... again.

Connecting the Dots of Outbreak Analytics - data.org

During a public health crisis, quick and accurate use of outbreak analytics tools is critical in the fight against the clock to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. Through visualization, modeling, and forecasting, these tools help epidemiologists, physicians, and policymakers better understand outbreak data in real-time.

New request for proposals! VIMC is looking for:

*groups with disease-specific models of vaccine impact for:
#malaria, #COVID19, #meningitis A / MMCV, #hepatitis B

*other cross-cutting groups that will add value to the Consortium, eg focusing on: operational aspects, #healtheconomics, impact of #climate on disease dynamics, #geospatial aspects

see https://www.vaccineimpact.org/2022-11-23-rfp/ for more details and eligibility
