aedseo vs Grafana Mimir: at a glance
What is aedseo?
An epidemic-onset detector that now brackets the whole season, not just its start
aedseo is a Statens Serum Institut R package for automated early detection of seasonal epidemic onsets, built around growth-rate estimation over consecutive time intervals. The 1.0.0 line moved it well past its original scope: observations are now modelled as cases or population-adjusted incidence, multiple waves can be estimated in one pass, and disease-specific thresholds are computed by a dedicated function. Version 1.1.0 adds an estimate of when a season has ended after the first onset.
What is Grafana Mimir?
Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

◆ Current state
aedseo is a Statens Serum Institut R package for automated early detection of seasonal epidemic onsets, built around growth-rate estimation over consecutive time intervals. The 1.0.0 line moved it well past its original scope: observations are now modelled as cases or population-adjusted incidence, multiple waves can be estimated in one pass, and disease-specific thresholds are computed by a dedicated function. Version 1.1.0 adds an estimate of when a season has ended after the first onset.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from a single-purpose onset detector toward a full seasonal-surveillance toolkit. Each release since 1.0.0 has widened what the package can say about a season rather than improving how it says it: incidence denominators, background population, multi-wave detection, thresholds, and now season end. Fixes in between are narrow and numerical, such as confidence intervals under ATLAS BLAS.
◆ Prediction
The natural next step is symmetry with the onset machinery the package already has: turning the 1.1.0 seasonal offset into a first-class output alongside onset, with its own summary and plotting methods.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
◆ Current state
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
◆ Where it's heading
Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.
◆ Prediction
The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.
