Adapting the model for a region-level or city-level analysis?

[JorgeGalindo]

Hi there. First of all, thank you very much for sharing the code. It is incredibly useful and informative. I was just wondering if it would be possible to adapt it to a different level of analysis, ie. regional, municipal. I believe it would be a great input for decision-makers to have a rough estimate of how much of the outbreak are they missing -- at least until they get better testing capacities in place. I cloned the repo in order to try and modify the code to apply it to Bogotá, the city where I live (we have data for all 20something neighborhoods). Producing the basic df was easy, but I'm now stuck at producing the estimates. Am I missing any doc or function part where countries are listed -- so I have to adapt that too? Any clue will be more than welcome! Thanks again,

Jorge

Hi Jorge,

It would certainly be possible to do so. In fact, with the way it is set up, if the regional data mimicked the format of the current input data (all you need is a time-series for both cases and deaths and the name of the region of interest), the rest of the analysis should run smoothly.

Would you be able to describe the error you are getting? I'm making some commits cleaning up the code and making it fully reproducable right now, so hopefully with any luck, if you pull the changes, the analysis should run smoothly.

Best,
Tim
