Future Work: Upload epidemiological data for analysis

[ashokkrish]

Currently we are able to run simulations for six different compartmental models with and without vital dynamics. These models can also run in a deterministic or stochastic setting. My goal is to allow the user to upload their own observed epidemiological data for data fitting, parameter estimation and visualize the fit.

I propose to have a top-level toggle with two radio buttons

Summary Data

Upload Data

Selecting Summary Data would bring the usual dropdown menu

and selecting Upload Data would let the user upload a dataset. The observed data that the user uploads could be a simple dataset with daily counts of susceptible, infected, and recovered individuals.

@ashokkrish, this seems like a totally different feature set. How is it currently related to what Episim does? What analyses would be done upon the data, and how is the parameter estimation performed?

Is this request closer in intent to what you want in Spatial Episim, with the ability to compare simulated and observed data?

If this is a totally separate process, let's develop it separately for now and then bring the feature into Episim later. Perhaps it'd be a good candidate for a utility that could be available alongside the applications in the "Krishnamurthy Lab Software Suite", the combined Shiny applications and utilities?

@ashokkrish, I have unassigned everyone because the task is not clear (to me, at least), and assigning the task to everyone is similar enough to not assigning the task to anyone in particular.
