		All-Cause and Excess Mortality Calculator // An interactive
		'shiny' application that estimates all-cause mortality and
		excess mortality from country-level weekly or monthly death
		counts. Users supply observed deaths and an event calendar (for
		example COVID-19 waves or typhoons); the app fits one or more
		statistical baseline models (historical average, negative
		binomial regression, quasi-Poisson regression, zero-inflated
		Poisson regression, ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving
		average) and SARIMA (seasonal ARIMA) models, GAM (generalized
		additive model) splines, and the model of Karlinsky and Kobak
		(2021) doi:10.7554/eLife.69336) on a user-defined baseline
		period, projects the expected deaths into the post-baseline
		period, and reports excess deaths, P-scores (excess deaths as a
		percentage of expected deaths) and confidence limits with
		tables, plots and downloadable reports. Launch the application
		with run_app().
