Tracking Dynamic Water-borne Outbreaks with Temporal Consistency Constraints
Content Type: Abstract
Space-time scan statistics are often used to identify emerging spatial clusters of disease cases [1,2]. They operate by maximizing a score function (likelihood ratio statistic) over multiple spatio-temporal regions. The temporal component is… read more -
Scalable Detection of Irregular Disease Clusters Using Soft Compactness Constraints
Content Type: Abstract
The spatial scan statistic [1] detects significant spatial clusters of disease by maximizing a likelihood ratio statistic F(S) over a large set of spatial regions, typically constrained by shape. The fast localized scan [2] enables scalable… read more -
Situational Awareness of Childhood Immunization in Kenya
Content Type: Abstract
Despite the steady increase in immunization coverage in Kenya, the most recent Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) shows that there is still immunization inequality across the country. Nationally, 2 out of every 3 (66.67%) children has been… read more
