Two-Week-Ahead Mpox Case Forecasts Evaluated for the 2022 U.S. Outbreak

Dhorasso Temfack's dataset evaluates the performance of two-week-ahead forecasts for reported mpox cases during the 2022 U.S. outbreak. The data is stored in a 5.5 KB XLS file and was last updated on May 18, 2026. It compares model performance, with bold formatting used to indicate the better-performing model.

Use Cases

• Compare the accuracy of different forecasting models based on the reported case evaluation.
• Benchmark new mpox forecasting approaches against existing models based on the performance comparison.
• Analyze the temporal dynamics of the 2022 U.S. mpox outbreak based on the forecasted case data.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The evaluation focuses on a specific, defined forecasting horizon of two weeks.
• The dataset provides a direct comparison of model performance for a recent public health event.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
