exmort 0.1.0 (2026-07-30)
- First release: the WHO WPRO All-Cause and Excess Mortality Calculator
packaged as an R package.
run_app() launches the bundled Shiny application from a temporary
directory.
- Includes seven baseline models (historical average, negative binomial,
quasi-Poisson, zero-inflated Poisson, ARIMA/SARIMA, GAM spline and the
Karlinsky–Kobak model), event annotation, best-fit AIC comparison, and
HTML / Word / PDF report generation.
- Application code is sourced into a private environment instead of the global
environment, and the app no longer leaves
options(digits) or the LC_TIME
locale changed after a session ends.
- Adds a
testthat suite covering the ISO year-week date helpers, the model
date index and the upload validators.
