Research direction

Review the planned analyses and the existing meta-forecast evaluation model to identify which location-specific wastewater or demographic predictors are already available. Compare candidate predictors by location and define how their inclusion would be evaluated. Done means an agreed predictor set and evaluation approach are incorporated into the model.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Likely additional location specific confounders that are not currently included in the planned analyses.
Are there other predictors we might be able to include, either on the wastewater side of demographic side?
