Data analysis was done using the free software R (http://www.r-project.org). The seasonal ARIMA model detected AGE and ILI outbreak signals in the majority of the investigated communities. This forecast model can prove to be an important tool for monitoring local levels of AGE and ILI to enable early detection of outbreaks of these conditions.}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Widerström, Micael and Omberg, Maria and Ferm, Martin and Pettersson, Ann-Katrine and Rundvik Eriksson, Malin and Eckerdal, Ingela and Wiström, Johan}, year={2014}, month={Mar.} }
