An algorithmic method to identify epidemic waves of COVID-19

In this research paper, a team of scientists from various institutions across the UK and Poland provides contributions aimed at resolving this issue. First, the authors clarify the multiple ways researchers use the word 'epidemic wave.' Their technique divides epidemic time series (of confirmed cases and deaths) into non-overlapping 'observed waves.'
