Generate a smoothed estimate of the relative growth rate of cases compared to some baseline using proportions.

Generate a smoothed estimate of the relative growth rate of cases compared to some baseline using proportions.

locfitProportionalGrowthEstimate(
  simpleTimeseries,
  degree = 2,
  window = 14,
  ...
)

Arguments

simpleTimeseries	- a minimal time-series including date, value, and if available total. If total is present the proportion is value/total. otherwise it is value, and total is assumed to be 1.
degree	the polynomial degree
window	the data window in days
...	may include "nearestNeigbour=FALSE" to disable the tail behaviour of locfit

Value

a timeseries with growth rate estimates (columns starting with "Growth")
