Using Bayesian Networks to Assist Decision-Making in Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance systems often produce large numbers of detections due to excess activity (alarms) in their indicators. Few alarms are classified as alerts (public health events that may require a response). Decision-making in syndromic… read more… are classified as alerts (public health events that may require a response). Decision-making in syndromic … expert knowledge.
