Contains models and tools to produce short-term forecasts for both case and sequence notifications assuming circulation of either one or two variants. Tools are also provided to allow the evaluation of the use of sequence data for short-term forecasts in both real-world settings and in user generated scenarios.
Currently, model-specific functions are named with an fv_ prefix and then a name that refers to their function. More generally functions do not have this prefix.
In general, I do not like unnecessary typing and so having to have a prefix is not ideal however in this instance it does perhaps get across that the user is able to alter and supply their own model variants and still make use of the package.
Until recently all functions had more general names with functions linked to stan having a stan_ prefix which seemed to get confusing once thinking about having user supplied models.
