作者:

Highlights:

• Disease count time-series prediction is difficult due to unexpected trend change.

• Analytics literature suggests a method that targets smooth changes.

• Disease count may encounter abrupt trend changes.

• The current paper addresses the abrupt changes in disease count data.

• The method has been evaluated through disease count data in Nevada.
