Model selection for seasonal influenza forecasting

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2017
Epidemics of seasonal influenza inflict a huge burden in temperate climes such as Melbourne (Australia) where there is also significant variability in their timing and magnitude. Particle filters combined with mechanistic transmission models for the spread of influenza have emerged as a popular method for forecasting the progression of these epidemics.
