geostan - Bayesian Spatial Analysis

For spatial data analysis; provides exploratory spatial analysis tools, spatial regression, spatial econometric, and disease mapping models, model diagnostics, and special methods for inference with small area survey data (e.g., the America Community Survey (ACS)) and censored population health monitoring data. Models are pre-specified using the Stan programming language, a platform for Bayesian inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). References: Carpenter et al.

surveil - Time Series Models for Disease Surveillance

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.
