### Who are we? | ||
**Our mission:** To develop the theory and practice of epidemic detection, tracking and forecasting, and their use in decision making, both public and private. | ||
|
||
**Our vision:** To make this technology as useful as weather forecasting is today. | ||
|
||
We're a research group based out of Carnegie Mellon University dedicated to developing the theory and practice of epidemic tracking and forecasting. Pre-pandemic we worked mostly on influenza, dengue and norovirus; we've now picked up a focus on COVID. We procure unique data streams that reflect epidemic (or pandemic) activity, extract relevant indicators, and make these publicly and continuously available. We and others then use these indicators for nowcasting (situational awareness) and short-term forecasting. | ||
- Founded in 2012 at Carnegie Mellon University, now spanning 3 universities | ||
- Perennial winners of CDC’s [“predict the flu” challenge](https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/flusight/index.html) since 2014 | ||
- Designated a 6-year [National Center of Excellence for Flu Forecasting](https://delphi.cmu.edu/about/center-of-excellence/) by [CDC’s Influenza Division](https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/flu.html) (2019-2025) | ||
- Designated a 5-year [National Center for Innovation](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/news/2023/delphi-cdc-center) by [CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics](https://www.cdc.gov/forecast-outbreak-analytics/index.html) (2023-2028) | ||
- Our [Epidata repository](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/) of real-time, geographically-detailed epidemic signals contains more than 500 signals totalling over 4 billion records, with 3 million records being added daily. It receives on average 100,000 queries/day, from more than 50,000 unique IP addresses in a 3 month period. | ||
- Data partners and collaborators include CDC, UnitedHealth/Optum, Change Healthcare, Google, Meta, Amazon, QuidelOrtho, and others | ||
- Funders include CDC, DTRA, Google, Meta, Optum, McCune Foundation, Uptake and others | ||
|
||
### Who is our audience? | ||
**Our strategy:** | ||
1. Procure [real-time, aggregated data streams](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/) informative of varied infectious diseases and syndromes, in collaboration with industry partners and public health agencies | ||
1. Extract signals—many at daily and county-level resolution—from these streams and make them widely available via the [Delphi Epidata platform](https://delphi.cmu.edu/covidcast/) and [API](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/); enhance their value with automated revision tracking, revision projection, anomaly detection, trend detection, access control, smoothing, and geographic, temporal and demographic disaggregation | ||
1. Develop and deploy algorithms for epidemic detection, tracking (nowcasting), and forecasting | ||
1. Develop and share tools for [signal access](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epidatr/), [processing](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epiprocess/), and [forecasting](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epipredict/) | ||
1. Work closely with public health agencies to understand and support their needs | ||
1. Make it all real-time, operational, maximally accessible, and open-source | ||
|
||
Public health authorities (federal, state, local), the healthcare industry, the public and private sectors, fellow researchers working on epidemic tracking and forecasting, data journalists, and the general public. | ||
**Our target users:** | ||
- CDC, state and local public health agencies (STLTs) | ||
- Although our long term goal is global, our near-term focus is the U.S.) | ||
- The epi-forecasting research community | ||
- The healthcare industry | ||
- Other public, private and government organizations | ||
- Data journalists | ||
- The general public |

|
||
In addition to the Delphi Epidata API server code, we have a number of user-oriented code packages, such as API clients and time-series modeling for epidemiology. | ||
All source code is freely available on [GitHub](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/). | ||
|
||
## API and clients | ||
|
||
### [Epidata](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/delphi-epidata) | ||
|
||
The core server code for the [Delphi Epidata API](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/). | ||
|
||
### [Epidatr](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epidatr/) | ||
|
||
R client for the [Delphi Epidata API](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/). | ||
It allows you to cache queries locally to speed up data access and seamlessly integrate pulling from our API into your pipelines. | ||
|
||
### [Epidatpy](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/epidatpy) (WIP) | ||
|
||
A work-in-progress Python client for the [Delphi Epidata API](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-epidata/). | ||
Not yet recommended for production, but we are happy to receive feedback! | ||
|
||
## Forecasting | ||
|
||
### [Introduction to Epidemiological Forecasting: Delphi Tools, Data, and Lessons](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/delphi-tooling-book/) | ||
|
||
An introduction to epidemiological forecasting using our tools: epiprocess and epipredict. | ||
|
||
### [Epiprocess](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epiprocess/) | ||
|
||
A collection of data structures and methods for handling epidemiological data. | ||
The major features are: | ||
- The epi_df structure, which allows you track epidemiological data measured over location and time (and other potential keys). | ||
- The epi_archive structure, which allows you to store epi_df objects in a versioned archive and to query the archive for the state of the data at any point in time. | ||
- Support for applying generic functions across a sliding time window, building on tools like [slider](https://slider.r-lib.org/). Comes with support for | ||
- handling gaps in time | ||
- automatically handling grouping of keys | ||
- Support for version aware data transformation and forecasting, which allows for simple and accurate backtesting of forecasting models (using only the actual data that was available at the time of the forecast and not the revised versions). | ||
- Growth rate estimation, as estimated using relative rates of change, linear regression, smooth splines, or polynomial trend filtering. | ||
- Outlier detection and correction, using rolling median or LOESS trend decomposition. | ||
- Signal correlation over space, time and other keys. It also supports lagged correlations, automatically handles grouping by the specified keys, and handles time gaps. | ||
|
||
### [Epipredict](https://cmu-delphi.github.io/epipredict/) | ||
|
||
A framework for building epidata pipelines involving transformation and forecasting. It is designed to work smoothly with epiprocess and provides a simple interface for defining and running forecasting workflows. It supports: | ||
- A simple interface for defining a sequence of data pre-processing, forecasting, and post-processing steps. | ||
- A collection of data processing steps common to epidata. | ||
- A collection of pre-packaged forecasting models commonly used by Delphi's forecasting team. | ||
|
||
## Deprecated Packages | ||
|
||
### [Covidcast](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/covidcast) | ||
|
||
A collection of R and Python packages for accessing and analyzing data from the Delphi COVIDcast API. | ||
|
||
### [Epiforecast](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/epiforecast-R) | ||
|
||
R package that implements several methods for epidemiological forecasting empirical bayes (EB), basis regression (BR), and time-weighted kernel density estimation (twkde). | ||
|
||
### [utils](https://github.com/cmu-delphi/utils) | ||
|
||
Python utility package for handling dates and locations. |
