Some guidelines for citing package ‘surveillance’ in publications:

For multivariate hhh4() with estimated neighbourhood weights, cite:

Meyer S and Held L (2014). “Power-law models for infectious disease spread.” The Annals of Applied Statistics, 8(3), pp. 1612–1639. ISSN 1932-6157, http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/14-AOAS743.

For multivariate hhh4() with random effects, cite:

Paul M and Held L (2011). “Predictive assessment of a non-linear random effects model for multivariate time series of infectious disease counts.” Statistics in Medicine, 30(10), pp. 1118–1136. ISSN 0277-6715, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/sim.4177.

For multivariate hhh4() without random effects, cite:

Paul M, Held L and Toschke AM (2008). “Multivariate modelling of infectious disease surveillance data.” Statistics in Medicine, 27(29), pp. 6250–6267. ISSN 0277-6715, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/sim.3440.

For univariate hhh4(), cite:

Held L, Höhle M and Hofmann M (2005). “A statistical framework for the analysis of multivariate infectious disease surveillance counts.” Statistical Modelling, 5(3), pp. 187–199. ISSN 1471-082X, http://dx.doi.org/10.1191/1471082X05st098oa.

If twinstim() is used, cite:

Meyer S, Elias J and Höhle M (2012). “A space-time conditional intensity model for invasive meningococcal disease occurrence.” Biometrics, 68(2), pp. 607–616. ISSN 0006-341X, http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01684.x.

If twinstim() is used with non-Gaussian spatial interaction, cite:

Meyer S and Held L (2014). “Power-law models for infectious disease spread.” The Annals of Applied Statistics, 8(3), pp. 1612–1639. ISSN 1932-6157, http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/14-AOAS743.

If twinSIR() is used, cite:

Höhle M (2009). “Additive-multiplicative regression models for spatio-temporal epidemics.” Biometrical Journal, 51(6), pp. 961–978. ISSN 0323-3847, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bimj.200900050.

If boda() is used, cite:

Manitz J and Höhle M (2013). “Bayesian outbreak detection algorithm for monitoring reported cases of campylobacteriosis in Germany.” Biometrical Journal, 55(4), pp. 509–526. ISSN 0323-3847, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/bimj.201200141.

For many of the algo.* functions, the appropriate citation is:

Höhle M (2007). “surveillance: An R package for the monitoring of infectious diseases.” Computational Statistics, 22(4), pp. 571–582. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00180-007-0074-8.

For the nowcasting functionality the appropriate citation is:

Höhle M and an der Heiden M (2014). “Bayesian Nowcasting during the STEC O104:H4 Outbreak in Germany, 2011.” Biometrics, ??(?), pp. ???–??? http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/biom.12194.

To cite the software package ‘surveillance’ itself, use:

Michael Höhle, Sebastian Meyer and Michaela Paul (2015). surveillance: Temporal and Spatio-Temporal Modeling and Monitoring of Epidemic Phenomena. R package version 1.8-3. http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=surveillance

In general, the references given in the help pages of the respective main functions should be used.
