fiphde: Open Source Flu Forecasting Software

fiphde was originally created to operationally forecast influenza hospitalizations during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons of the FluSight challenge. The package includes functions for data retrieval, modeling, near-term forecasting, and forecast summarization. Functionality from fiphde has been implemented for other infectious disease forecasting, including the 2022-23 DoD COVID-like illness forecasting challenge.
