The graphs in this thread were interesting and useful. Have they been updated somewhere?

Here is an updated version using just the data in the WHO reports.

Thanks!

Looks like the epidemic is still growing exponentially.

Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - August 22, 2014

I neglected to label the above graph as cumulative deaths based on WHO reports. Sorry about that.

Nordica - would you be able to post updated charts occasionally?

Thanks.

Yes, I can. :)

Do you think I should include other countries as well in the graph?

Senegal and Nigeria are in the noise at this stage, unless/until they have a recurrence.

DRC is probably worth tracking, though.

wouldn't it be better to use weekly new cases instead of cumulative

I don't think so. Sometimes data is held over from week to week. Then a lot of testing happens when a new lab comes on line like the Chinese lab in Sierra Leone. Delays in a given week make the weekly data noisy, but that noise is diminished in the cumulative cases curve.

Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014

Ronan Kelly, this "noise" is usually eliminated by moving averages,
where you list the average of the last n weeks(days) instead of the
actual week

this cumulative chart makes it hard to detect whether the trend is exponential or linear - it just goes up for the eye.

And I wonder whether that's the purpose that so many use
cumulative charts now in the first place.

You won't see that with e.g. weekly flu-surveillance numbers
How would you find the peak ?

Have you plotted moving averages somewhere? What does it look like?
As an aside, I don't have any sidescroll running at 1920x1080.
 
Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014

Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014

WHO gives the number of new cases in the last 21 days.
In our weekly (non-cumulative) charts that would be
the 3-weeks moving average (MA3).
I added it now in my regional chart :

Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014

Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014

GS your charts need some explanation. What are the axes? What periods are being covered. Why so many lines on the MA? If you are using WHO data, they don't have local data, only at the country level? Could you explain a little?

What are you trying to show with these charts?
