It provides an overview of probabilistic prediction for pandemic modeling based on a data-driven approach. It also provides guidance on building platforms with currently available technology using tools such as R, Shiny, and interactive plotting programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe focus is on the integration of statistics and computing tools rather than on an in-depth analysis of all possibilities on each side. Readers can follow different reading paths through the book, depending on their needs. The book is meant as a basis for further investigation of statistical modelling, implementation tools, monitoring aspects, and software functionalities.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA general but parsimonious class of models to perform statistical prediction for epidemics, using a Bayesian approach\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementation of automated routines to obtain daily prediction results\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to interactively visualize the model results\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrategies for monitoring the performance of the predictions and identifying potential issues in the results\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the many decisions required to develop and publish online platforms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplemented by an R package and its specific functionalities to model epidemic outbreaks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is geared towards practitioners with an interest in the development and presentation of results in an online platform of statistical analysis of epidemiological data.　The primary audience includes applied statisticians, biostatisticians, computer scientists, epidemiologists, and professionals interested in learning more about epidemic modelling in general, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and platform building.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors are professors at the Statistics Department at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
