Flusight is a static influenza forecasts visualizer. It takes weekly prediction files in the format used by CDC FluSight Challenge, extracts entities needed for visualization and generates a minified webpage ready for static hosting. The visualizer uses an intermediate file, summarizing the predictions, which can be generated either by the set of scripts in the repository (which uses CDC's prediction format) or by the user. Visualizations are implemented using the d3-foresight npm package.
The live version associated with this github repository at http://reichlab.io/flusight/ displays predictions for CDC FluSight Challenge by Reich Lab at UMass Amherst. To know more about it, go to the about page in the wiki.
For submitting weekly predictions on this
repository the recommended method is to
create a pull request on the master branch. Fork this project and add your
.csv
files in ./data/
directory as described in the project’s workflow
wiki. The pull requests
will be automatically built and once merged to master, will be deployed to the
website.
Flusight works as a static webpage and needs a static hosting service (like github’s). Building the project and bundling data files requires node.js and yarn (or npm).

./src/assets/data/
yarn run parse
-
Test if the collected data files are fine
yarn run test
-
Bundle production build
