Detecting changes in population trends in infection surveillance using community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence as an exemplar by Pritchard, E, Vihta, K-D, Eyre, DW, Hopkins, S, Peto, TEA, Matthews, PC, Stoesser, N, Studley, R, Rourke, E, Diamond, I, Pouwels, KB, Walker, AS, COVID-19 Infection Survey Team

“…Change-points associated with emergence of major variants were estimated to occur a median 4 days earlier (IQR 0-8) in GAMs versus ISR. When estimating recent change-points using successive data periods, four change-points (4/96) identified by GAMs were not found when adding later data or by ISR. …”
